I just saw a post complaining about the Mozilla layoffs.

I wanted to point out that the vast majority of their income (over 85% in 2022) is from having Google as the default search engine - Ironically, the anti monopoly lawsuit against Google will end this.

Expect things to get worse.

Please don’t assume it was just a cruel choice.

    That’s the Mozilla paradox right there. A company like theirs cannot survive on the market without breaking their own ideals.

      Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.

            Everyone seems to have missed or ignored the pun. 😄 I liked it.

            I think they are but Mozilla is not profitable and will be an expense source. Idk if it’ll make Proton negative but it definitely won’t improve their business.

              mozilla is not profitable because of how much they pay their CEO.

              its the same situation as reddit.
