Alex Frick

Alex Frick is a dedicated Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) enthusiast and the driving force behind Thorium Browser (thorium.rocks). Since launching their Patreon on February 27th, 2023, Alex has cultivated a community of 79 members, with 12 actively supporting their development efforts. While financial contributions are still in the early stages, with current earnings estimated between $45 and $45, Alex's Patreon serves as a crucial funding mechanism to dedicate more time to Thorium Browser's development. Unlike many browser projects, Thorium prioritizes FOSS principles and community involvement, offering a unique alternative within the browser landscape. Alex's commitment to transparency and open development, evidenced by the project's public availability, sets them apart. The Patreon's success reflects a growing appreciation for supporting independent FOSS developers and their contributions to the digital world. The modest but growing community signifies the potential impact of community-funded open-source initiatives.
