I realize it's far from a perfect solution to finance the creators of the only browser I consider usable today - but I subscribed to Mozilla's VPN service some two years ago, even though I virtually never use it, and mostly to help them make a bit of a buck through me. (And still, it is nice to have the option of geoblocking circumvention at the ready, although I'd wish for them to just support "ordinary" wireguard/wq-quick as a client option).


Hmm that might make them reallocate developers from the browser to the VPN ...


I could be wrong, but Firefox VPN is a relabeled Mullvard VPN, which probably has enough engineers to keep things going well. Plus, it's a VPN service, I imagine a small number of developers is all it takes to keep it up to date.


But then your payment goes to this Mullvad company although maybe Mozilla gets a small fee.


Subscription to their email forwarding service Relay is another possibility.
