Search engine partnerships suck
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.
You are free to have an opinion, but constructive feedback is better than what you just posted. Please, how do you think waterfox should be financed? I'm curious about your thoughts on the topic.
I just realized: should we be following suit by adding that link to the end of our comments like what you're doing? Hmm... Does it work?
Donations! Most free open source projects are either not funded or through donations. Devs don’t have to work full time on them.
Being funded through search engine partnerships is by definition against privacy

I think that this is the crux of your thoughts and where we, and the developer of waterfox, probably diverge. Can you explain your reasoning here?

By what definition? Are you assuming all search engines invade privacy?
