Just know I saw this, because I would never ever visit freaking groupon. “Sponsored shortcuts” can be disabled in the settings . Bleh :(
I mean a free open-source project’s gotta get money someway or another. At least they’re nice enough to give you the option to turn it off.
Have they tried not making individuals rich?
Don’t look into Mozilla’s finances, please.
What am I expected to find?

And it’s so simple a child could figure it out.
The freeloaders will removed about ads while never donating a dime.
Mozilla is making millions of dollars each year.
Yep, no one is disputing that, the issue is where those millions comes from…
Google.
If Firefox is to survive they need independant income strearms outside of Google.
I wouldn’t be so worried about that. Google actually needs to fund Mozilla, so no one can claim that they have a monopoly on browser rendering engines. Mozilla will always get some funding, and they will always ensure that it has some user base, no matter how small, just so they can escape antitrust regulation.
