I still can’t give them money, so what’s the point? Just like with Mozilla, they rely on sponsors and you are the product.

As I mentioned in a comment below (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46297617 ), Firefox does not rely only on sponsors. There are a few ways to pay money that goes directly towards Firefox.

You can give Waterfox your money. Just not for the browser itself. They sell ad free search[0].

What do you say about the following link, then?

> https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/donate/

		That link is for Mozilla Foundation, which is a non-profit and donations to it do not go to the development of Firefox. Mozilla Corporation, the for-profit entity, owns and manages Firefox. The way to support Firefox monetarily is by buying Mozilla VPN where available (this is Mullvad in the backend) and buying some Firefox merchandise (like stickers, t-shirts, etc.). I think an MDN Plus subscription also helps.

I agree it's counter-evidence right now, and I think* there has been a way to donate for a long time now (just to "mozilla", not "firefox" or setting any restrictions), but I'm not sure what the historical option has been...
