I had a look at what it actually does in the Firefox settings and all it seems to do is to disable one AI feature flag, change the default search engine, and then set a few other flags that are changes that you may or may not want to make,

PostgreSQL is just a community of volunteers as far as I'm aware, not full-time developers employed by the project. FreeBSD seems to have three paid directors: https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/our-team/

Aren't they just piggybacking on Mozilla's work though? The point is to make the work that Mozilla is doing sustainable, not to pay someone else to ship a slightly modified version of it.

Or in slightly less fatalistic words: In any entity with more than 1-2 employees you need someone to make decisions and be accountable for them. The normal solution is to have a director/CEO for this. You may be able to get away with p

Must be region/account specific. I get crypto.com, bitcoin.com and coinbase as the top three results. Nevertheless I agree these should be moderated better and scam apps need to be removed quickly.

Basic ecomoic theory tells you that when there is more demand than there is supply, prices will go up. If 50 people are applying for a single room at 600 EUR then even that is probably still too cheap. The only reliable way to change that i
