You want a pro version that doesn’t use Mozilla services and money is not spend on infrastructure or dependent software or application research because that is not “Firefox development”.

I think anyone would be just fine not having you as a customer.

Paying for development infrastructure and research to bring Firefox forward is Firefox development. I'm not interested in their services, all I care for is the browser. As a customer I think it is well in my right to just pay for what I use. At the very least it is not impolite to ask for that.

It’s well within Mozilla’s right to offer a packaged deal that you can either take or leave. If that includes parts you don’t use, you’re stuck with buying or not buying. It’s well within your right to not buy the bundle, but there is no right to get it unbundled.

He is asking to pay money for focused development to the browser itself instead of pesky VPN services and opt-out "studies" and that makes him a bad customer? Doesn't make much sense.
