    Uhm, I don’t think those two examples are comparable. Mozilla (Firefox) has been captured by Google and is making itself irrelevant on purpose and Nextcloud is a clear case of commercial interests (that pay the bills of the developers) are prioritized over gratis home-user needs. Neither is the case for F-droid and I also see little risk of this happening.

        No, but their funding sources and behaviour of the top management speaks for itself. Obviously Google is trying its best to hide the fact that Mozilla is managed opposition to avoid regulatory scrutiny of their browser monopoly.

        But I still use Firefox as it is better than the alternative, however the situation is not great overall. Lets hope the new push for an independent Servo browser works out.

        No practical difference, even according to their own auditors if I remember a recent report on this correctly.
