    Focusing on just the browser and the alternate sources of funding (such as their VPN) go somewhat against each other

      That certainly can be the case, but it’s a problem that Mozilla needs to solve in order to survive. They need some form of sustainable revenue either through crowdfunding or by selling some kind of services people want. What they’re doing now is clearly not working.

      Yeah, Mozilla has been trying to break out of its current model of search engine contract funding browser development for many years without much success. I think part of the problem is that they keep picking areas with well established incumbent players so they never really have a chance.
