Mozilla dropped Thunderbird years ago, it runs independently now.

Hmm can you elaborate on that?

> Thunderbird is now part of MZLA Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation

Are you saying that it technically lives under the Mozilla umbrella but they take a completely hands-off approach?

DuckDuckGo is a nice alternative to Google if you want to research "unusual" things that you don't want to mussy up your search history.
