Does anyone trustworthy offer a paid version of Firefox? I don't know of one, but I'd be customer #1.
The pitch is clear: "Users are our only customers. We'll always do what's best for you and we'll do it completely transparently."

If Mozilla wants to offer a “We won’t screw with you, like by creating new places for ads and burying the settings (like we have and will with free users)” premium plan, I’d consider it. I’d prefer to pay a company that doesn’t do that at all, though (that is, it’s built around innovating for paying customers), even if they aren’t able to offer a free browser.
Obviously being a paying customer doesn’t guarantee customer-first decisions or transparency, but as we saw this week, not being one makes it almost impossible.
