Interesting (but not surprising) what Mozilla's stance is.

Exactly what I expected, from a "smaller company" who is dependent on the money of another bigger company. Maybe not only Google is forced to sell out their browser, what if Mozilla sells out Firefox too? Who would (want to) buy Firefox and be able to work on the code? My hope was the Linux Foundation, but it looks like they are also Chromium focused (with their recent financial support for that browser).

I miss moz://a.

Louis Rossman did a video about this the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bTquKjzos

The gist is: They had a $100M of revenue outside of Google in 2023. 40M of that was passive income from their >$1B investment portfolio.

I wonder what it would cost to simply develop a web browser instead of all the other bullshit Mozilla is focused on nowadays.

I genuinely believe that getting their google money cut off will be the best thing to happen to Mozilla.

Either that or they implode

This comment was enlightening.

If we look at just the ratio of expenditure. We have an NPO (on paper at least) that just went from spending a ratio of 4 to 1 between developers and managers to spending a ratio of almost 2 to 1.
