    @hbons For anyone doubting whether paying for free software is a thing, remember that when all the commercial stuff is enshittified to death, free (as in free speach) software is all we will have left that is usable.We support who we can, in line with our feelings and ojlur finances. But remember that loyalty to a big brand name is almost always 100% one-way. "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company." sums up the corporate attitude.I am a bus driver (for my day job), not a billionaire, but I still contribute regularly for a few things. The free CD database, for example, that I've used at least once a week for ever, and a few YT channels, like the one that got shadow-banned by YT, because they advocate for EVs, and aren't scared to say what they think about shady business practices.

    @ohir I do fear you are right.Right now it's quite some muddy waters, where several forks appearing. And some have even disappeared. These muddy waters need to calm down at some point.For a fork to be sustainable, it need to have enough contributors and users. Contributors need to cover development, needed infrastructure, support and (what you mention) finances to keep things rolling.I don't think it's sustainable that we have so many forks appearing these days. The strongest ones of them should unite and setup a non-profit organisation, which others could join as well. Perhaps using a similar model as Codeberg.With such a joint effort, the marketing towards end users can be much more uniform and targetted, which would be easier for users to relate to. Just as Firefox managed to take over the position of Netscape (even though Firefox was spun out of Netscape, so not directly comparable).I would truly encourage @librewolf, @zenbrowser, @Waterfox, @konform and other forks to get together and look at the possibilities to collaborate on a broader scale. I don't say they should abandon their own "uniqueness", but that they can find a way to help contribute to a more healthy and sustainable environment for important forks to actually survive and be sustainable. Have something "shared" at the core across all forks, where they can build their own uniqueness from. Have a shared vision and mission statement, have a united front for a privacy respecting browser family.
