6. How does Waterfox make money?
Waterfox has search partnerships. That is, the default search on Waterfox is monetised. If you search with it, Waterfox gets a share of the revenue. You are under no obligation to use the default search - but if you like what Waterfox does and want to support the project, please consider using it.
I see now.
This is probably the source of our contention. This article (and this one too) explains where I come from. As a dev, I owe users fuck all. It’s my free time, not theirs. Imagine if whatever you were doing for free were suddenly claimed by others and they started making demands how you do it.
But thank you for your answers. This is probably something we cannot agree on and something you have experience yourself. I encourage you to make something in your free time that other people use and that it becomes successful.

For sure! You have every right and I won’t expect maintainers to take their time doing things. I just expect them not to profit from my use of their work by paying with my data or similar, and if they do, good for them, but I won’t support them
That’s fair 🙂 Thank you for the discussion.

Thank you as well, and thank you for your work, as it seems you contribute to FOSS :)
Might join this team as well one day, when I’ll have the skills to!
