Yeah, I can't help but laugh when I see folks comment about Firefox saying something like, "if you want that feature you have to donate money so they can hire the developers to implement it." Meanwhile, Mozilla has about $1 Billion USD in the bank... Even more laughable is what Mozilla spends it on. I'll leave it to others to research some of that. (There's some guy that has a blog, and about all his posts has to do with Mozilla, the way it is hoarding its money, and the ways it spends the money on useless services, like with a company owned by a friend of the CEO). You might like this one, too.
