Which is scary since Google could cut off the funding at any point. Mozilla have been trying to find alternative revenue streams (like their VPN service) but almost all of their funding still comes from Google.
I wish more people would subscribe to their VPN service. I know that there’s a lot of controversy about whether commercial VPNs actually provide any value, but I subscribe as a way to basically donate $60 a year to a good cause with the service as a nice bonus. It’s not the best VPN option, or the cheapest, but it’s pretty good and pretty cheap, and I’m happy to know the money is going to support a free and open web.
Where does Mozilla money come from?
Basically, Google.
