Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

I think the best viable option for them is to either offer a subscription model. Or increase requests for donations.

what would a subscription even do?

Id say support Firefox development, maybe premium access to some of Mozilla's services, possibly cosmetics in browser

support ff development: thats called donating

premium access to mozillas services: that's already a thing but you subscribe to each one, like their vpn, pocket, etc

cosmetics in browser: thats just https://addons.mozilla.org/
