LAURA CHAMBERS, CEO, MOZILLA CORPORATION As Mark shared in his blog, Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising. Our hypothesis is that we n
our expanded focus on online advertising won’t be embraced by everyone in our community
They get (got?) millions in donations, maybe instead of giving it to their CEO and political activists they put it into the browser they could run their browser without ads. But instead they became the infinite growth (at least attempted anyway, not doing well in the growth department) funded by ads silicon valley company in a nonprofit’s disguise.
Those millions will drain in a few months and at the end of the day they are a company and need to make money. Its not a fairy tale where Mozilla fight against the big tech and ends up winning because of their good will , be realistic we live on a capitalist society , companies need to make money. I prefer to still have them around rather than letting Google being another monopoly on the internet.

Get was correct. For a long time the vast majority of Mozilla funding is provided by Google,and that will continue.

Google actually regularly donates to Mozilla so expect enshitification to continue.
While realistic - if nobody tries differently without getting just the massive bag of ceo tax money, it’ll never ever change.
