A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I like and use Relay as well. Probably a very naive thought, but couldn't Mozilla just ask for donations the way Wikipedia does?

I don't think I've ever seen them ask for donations as visibly as Wikipedia does. Sometimes there's a small banner at the top of their website with a donate button. Currently, if you go to https://mozilla.org and scroll all the way down, there's a "Donate" link in their footer.

Seems like they're always kind of subtle about asking for donations -- I wonder if they think that if they pushed for donations harder, it would just make more people use Chrome. (On the other hand, there is no real alternative to Wikipedia, so they can do the big banner once a year.)
