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.

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!
