Mozilla published its annual audited financial statement for the year 2021, and the outlook could not be better.

The organization managed to increase total revenue to $600 million, an increase of more than $100 million compared to the year 2020. Search engine royalties, especially paid by Google but also other search engine companies, increased by more than $80 million in the year to $527 million.

While that is impressive growth, subscription and advertising revenue grew even more. Last year, Mozilla earned $24 million from subscriptions and advertising. In 2021, revenue grew to $56 million.

Mozilla's main revenue sources grew considerably. In fact, 2021's revenue is second only to 2019's revenue, but only because of a one-time payment Mozilla received in the year from Yahoo.

How is browser usage? If it remains low and continues to drop, can increased revenues counter such?

I ask because I've been using Firefox for sometime. I tried Brave last night, and can't find addons like Snap Links and XDM, and couldn't tweak the UI like move addon icons to the bookmarks bar.

No need, when they offers services outside of the browser. 'Firefox' isn't just a browser product. Firefox is a brand of Mozilla.
Mozilla established several services in the past couple of years, including Firefox VPN, Pocket Premium and Hits, Firefox Relay and others.

You should contact the developers of those add-ons to find out why they're not available, or if it's planned.

Try Opera for Desktop which offers more UI customisation for a Chromium-based browser.
