it sounds like no one else does either

Maintaining a browser that doesn't rely on someone else's upstream code is quite an ordeal. Of the four main browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox), 3 are built by large for-profit enterprises and the other relies on money from a large for-profit enterprise. Browsers are very complex pieces of technology and can't be maintained by 3 guys on GitHub in their spare time.

They could probably raise more if Google went away

I'm interested in how you think Mozilla would raise more than half a billion dollars if they didn't take any money from Alphabet/Google. Genuinely. In what ways could Mozilla raise money that they're not doing right now?

Rugby Sevens most likely. The US Women's team had people on it who had never played rugby 4 years ago. Granted they had an (American) football background. Handball might be in there. It's gotta be a sport that isn't very popular.

Ok, that makes more sense to me. In that case my answer is still "no." Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Without taking a position on what you're saying, do you think it's at all possible that making those choices could lose more voters than they'd gain? I honestly don't know, but changing a position on any issue runs the risk of losing votes as well.

I agree but to put it in context, basically everyone was anti-gay back then by today's standards. DADT was considered a pro-gay move back then.

Unless the friend has training as a microbiologist or something similar their belief is inconsequential. And even then they would be in the vast minority in their field (like a geologist that believes oil doesn't come from the heat and compression of ancient organic matter).

A lot of people are afraid of new things they don't understand. The hope is that people realize that the fear is irrational and listen to experts in the relevant field.
