Mozilla stubbornly refuses to allow people to donate to Firefox specifically (as opposed to Firefox and their other random projects they pull out of the hat every other quarter or so to be used for any of them at their discretion). I would have set up a monthly donation to Firefox long ago if only they allowed donations just to Firefox. I have read many others complain about the same issue over the years.
I agree with that. I always like the KDE Project. They work on Qt and a bunch of applications including the desktop and the expected desktop applications like a file explorer. Plus good stuff like Kdenlive, Krita, etc.
I’ve felt that web browser development should have been a part of a consortium of projects like a dropbox replacement, email service, search engine, VPN, office products, etc so they could bundle cloud services and actually look worth it comparison to like a O365 and Google One sub
Not every application alone is going to attract funding like the Linux kernel or Blender and web browser development is expensive but not a sell-able product alone. It can market other products
