  • I understand it. When I was quite young, my father was also convinced that beating was an educational method. It took him almost 30 years to apologize for it. In situations like this I tend to say “gtfo as fast as you can”, but of course that’s not always an option.

    Stay strong, you still have your whole life ahead of you and it will get better.







  • Is there even a “before”? The very first release of Firefox was in 2004. Google started paying Mozilla in 2004. The only time there was no funding from Google was 2014-2017. In that time Yahoo took over that part.

    There was however the 2 year period from 2002 - 2004 when Firefox was still “Phoenix” which was mostly funded by AOL.

    To my knowledge, there is not a single moment in the life of Firefox when it has had to get by completely without external funding. And 95% of that time, it was Google.
