It is super expensive but it really seems to be time to think about how to create and fund an entity that can fork Firefox while Mozilla does some weird AI pie in the sky shit.
Mozilla has a new CEO. Once again iterating that the future of Firefox is AI first, AI by default:"Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software"
"It will evolve into a modern AI browser"
"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."

Power-Hungry Data Centers Are Warming Homes in the Nordics
“The data center industry speaks of this as if they are a power supplier because they are supplying heat, but they consume power we could use for other things. They are shameless about asking for power”

in reply to tante • • •I had a fascinating chat with @Patricia a while ago about what it would cost to fork and maintain a viable browser. I don't remember the numbers but is was less than $60M per year I think. Easily within the budget of the EU or any national govt that values digital sovereignty. Also achievable by subscription I think.

in reply to tante • • •@bert_hubert @steely_glint @Patricia Such a thing will turn into a red tape behemoth. It also means that projects will forever depend on it.
STF-style funding encourages projects to seek alternative funding, ideally becoming self-sustainable eventually.
It also helps setting up small organisations with little overhead. YMMV, but I find working at such an organisation ideal – there is a strong focus on the quality of the products rather than externally mandated goals and I have a huge influence on (and, subsequently responsibility for) where things are going.

in reply to Tim Panton • • •@steely_glint Firefox has what, 5% market share these days? Out of a few billion people, that's a couple hundred million people. One in 1000 of those pitch in, that's $25 per month on average *among those* and those $60M/year are in the bank.
One in every 1000 current users times $25/month, for load-bearing software.
Sounds like even a pure donations financing model would be relatively doable, though might well take some government money at least to get the project going.

They're trapped being funded by their main competitor and always flailing around trying to find an alternative source of funding.

or maybe we take a radically different approach and build something simpler, less advertiser-y, maybe something named after a small rodent who like to burrow holes and dig tunnels
