I've often thought this myself. As I'm reluctant to donate money to Mozilla knowing they have a record of firing developers and splurging on executive salaries.

What if a fork was funded in a kickstarter like way, enough ideally to pay the salaries of the development team.

I'd happily pay ~$20 per month knowing that the money was going where it should.

Realistic, maybe not. But if we skip the whole funding part, fork out from v92, skip all new features and cherry-pick security patches and nothing but, then I'm in!
