The "woke" crowd waves so many flags it often ends up shooting themselves in the foot.
People got outraged because Mozilla asked for donations in crypto, because it's not green energy.
They want a commercial grade browser, made with zero ads, zero crypto, with enough features to work both with DRM protected video but also with hardware video acceleration in even the most obscure OS, funded only by donations. And, in practice, money made from donations it's not enough at all for the amount of manpower needed for a project like this.
I'm in favor for being sensible and having an inclusive environment. But people expect too much from a software project.
PD: What's worse, the CEO of Mozilla Corporation raised her salary up to over 3 million dollars, while Firefox marketshare is down over 85%. Not very woke IMHO
