Mozilla is burning donation money on this entry into an already full market, it hooks into cloud models, and at best (if you download one instead) you’ll be left with a wrapper around a closed-source binary made by a Big Tech corporation.
Don’t donate to Mozilla, because this is where Mozilla donations go. Google funds Firefox, donations (to MZLA) fund Thunderbird. Mozilla Foundation funds get sunk into this.
Why are you on such a hate spree against Mozilla? I can understand reasons for not liking Mozilla or not donating but you’re going around even on unrelated comments telling people not to donate. I donated to thunderbird before but not Mozilla directly and I will keep doing that from time to time as I like thunderbird
Because if something is optional, people may want to opt out of funding it.
MZLA is being tasked with developing this enterprise AI software, and even with the money coming from the outside, I don’t see any feasible way it won’t distract from Thunderbird development unless a whole bunch of new employees get hired to work in this separate software. Do you?
