Thunderbird starts and decides (without asking me) to open a web page in my default browser to beg about donation.
Thunderbird being hypocritical again: - they're saying donations are what keep them alive yet they just bought out K-9 - they're saying they're "privacy-respecting", yet they open a tracking web page at every start of Thunderbird
The funniest: the links, even in the donate page, contains trackers.
Seriously @thunderbird stop acting like the good guys.
1) Yes, donations allowed us to hire the lead developer of K-9 Mail full time (in addition to other developers and engineers). There was no financial transaction or buyout involved.
2) What you call a "tracker" is simply an extended UTM link. This shows us how many people came to the donation page via a certain platform, like Mastodon or the blog. There is zero identifying personal information being tracked.
