Also from Jamie Zawinski yesterday: Mozilla's Original Sin

Some will tell you that Mozilla's worst decision was to accept funding from Google, and that may have been the first domino, but I hold that implementing DRM is what doomed them, as it led to their culture of capitulation. It demonstrated that their decisions were the decisions of a company shipping products, not those of a non-profit devoted to preserving the open web.

Those are different things and are very much in conflict. They picked one. They picked the wrong one.

people complain when they were dependent on google and now they complain when they push an alternative to google that is a privacy friendly advertising firm.

like it or not most sites depend on advertising; offering an alternative to google is exactly what the foundation should be doing.
