How much did you contribute (code or donations) to Firefox, Netsurf, Dillo, Links, Lynx, or other non-Chrome browsers?


Oh, we are using ad hominems now, great. My answer is 0 (zero).

Now the counter question - how much money did you personally contribute directly (taxes don't count) to any alternative to anything you were dissatisfied with? Name the issue and the amount. If you will not name at least one issue, I will consider that lie (deliberate or by omission).

And the second question to you - how the hell is YOUR question even relevant to the discussion of Google's browser monopoly?


I contribute every month to wikipedia, EFF, Gentoo and some others. The amount is 5 to 20$, depending on project. Issues: Wikipedia - obviously no good alternative. EFF - for fighting the idiot lawmakers and corporations. Gentoo because I hate systemd. There is no browser on the list, but I will correct that.

My question is relevant because (almost) nobody supports an alternative to the monopoly, yet you complained about it.
