Firefox is developed in the open and accepts outside contributions already. The only thing this is adding is a paid membership.

A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.

Don’t need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.

True, you can. But for people who may not have the skill or time but still value the browser, I think it isn’t a bad idea. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.

So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?

Is there a free vote now? Have I somehow missed this?

Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.

They do? in fact they dictate almost the entire project, that’s how open source works
