I'm an avid Thunderbird user and I like to support the team making it, but drives me crazy that sending them money costs 8%. So if you give them $100, they only get $92. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/donate/ I know Mozilla is anti-crypto, but there still has to be a cheaper way to send them money.

For whatever it's worth, you can also donate via mailed check, assuming you're in the US. This will avoid the 8% card processing fee.
