Then donate!

They are in this situation because they have to keep up with chrome's capabilities _ velocity with a team that's 1/4 the size at best.

Essentially they have to produce more with less and they have a funding problem. Almost all of their funding goes into software engineering salaries.

At the risk of not being able to keep up and becoming an obsolete web browser leaving Chrome as the only dominant one there is a shitty position of being the bad guy so that you can get money.

In short, I sympathize with the reasons why they are having to do this even if I greatly dislike them. Reality is complicated.
