I have no intention to pay just for Firefox, the browser. A browser is not that special anymore and there are plenty of alternatives.

However, I do want to pay for additional features and services, like a solid ad-blocker, integrated VPN-networking, privacy features like email relays or anti-fingerprinting, a safe and reliable cryptocurrency wallet, a smart cross-platform password manager, a privacy focused gmail alternative, integrated detection of fake reviews, bot messages and sloppy AI content, AI summaries, …

Add value to Firefox, in a coherent, meaningful and effective way to make using the internet secure, enjoyable and interesting again. Do that and take my money.

All Chromium forks.

Browser engines are special. Firefox is the only non-WebKit derivative with relevant market-share currently.


They'd kill Mozilla for working on those instead of X.
