Very unsurprising. So they are still accepting cryptocurrencies then, especially non proof-of-work ones which align towards Mozilla's climate change goals, since I and many others said before [0], there are cryptocurrencies that exist that are more eco-friendly than others. So use those ones instead.
Looks like I'm going to watch the outrage on this policy as now they realise that one can accept other cryptocurrencies that are not burning up the planet.

I can tell you that it will be one of those ones in [0]. It certainly won't be Bitcoin, or Dogecoin.
1. Mozilla will no longer accept 'proof-of-work' cryptocurrencies, which are more energy intensive.
2. Mozilla will accept 'proof-of-stake' cryptocurrencies, which are less energy intensive. Mozilla will develop and share a list of cryptocurrencies we accept by the end of Q2 2022.
Proof of stake is worthless, no it’s actually negative as it will be the lever the state uses to control cryptocurrency. You can’t find the miner, but you can surely find the stalker and force them with violence to respect the will of the state.
This will become far more obvious to people in the next 5 years. Proof of stake was always a trap.
I’m sorry Mozilla has been captured by idiots who will sell our your freedoms for State support.
On the other hand, a staking whale with good opsec sounds pretty anonymous.
Interested to hear if I’ve got this wrong somehow.
Someone had to sell you the coins in the first place. Remember all PoS coins were issued on day one by the oligarchs and you live by their wishes when they sell you their coins.
The oligarchs always fear the state taking their stash, they will lie and cheat for the State. PoS is subjective truth. PoW is objective truth, verifiable without trust.
There already are state actors using this as their future battleground. The future of war is hashwar to inflict economic turmoil on the enemy.
