@JamesDBartlett3 @aral Many charities have wholly owned for-profit subsidiaries. Either to raise funds or to provide services. Or even sometimes to avoid rules on getting too involved in politics.

@aral @neurovagrant Why does it have to be government money? That is almost as precarious as taking Google's search money!

Whole global news gathering organisations are funded in large part through donations and largely optional subscriptions.

There are questions over how much of Mozilla's budget is actually necessary, of course, if the argument is that only the search engines can pay the amounts needed. They have a huge surplus.

@neurovagrant @aral I would welcome suggestions on this. Maintaining a modern web browser is hard, even Microsoft uses Chrome. And Google is demonstrably far more evil than Mozilla. Most notably because it is Google who is now pushing the old TCPA "remote attestation" nightmare, not (or as well as) Microsoft.

If you have a better alternative than Firefox I'd love to hear about it.
