      I wouldn’t donate to a nonprofit that pays 5 mil a year to their CEO, it sounds to me they have the money but waste it on the wrong things.

        Same reason I don’t donate to Wikipedia. They act like they’re running on fumes but in reality they have money.

      They have a very long history of mismanaging money and wasting it on worthless projects, not to mention multi-million dollar executive salaries while laying off hundreds of workers and many other controversies.

      Firefox is the only reason I don’t want that useless walking corpse to die for good. And I can’t even support it, since it belongs to the corporation rather than the foundation.

        I don’t think you will find an organisation of that scale that doesn’t have salaries for execs like this, You might not like it but that is an unavoidable reality, you can’t run a business based of wishful thinking.

        Some projects got dumped but at least they are taking risk and making new projects (which got us Rust, stack overlow survey favorite language from 2016 - 2023).

        Sure, but if Mozilla dies, Firefox dies and we’re all on chromium 🤮

        Mozilla might have mismanaged their money (didn’t know about that), but right now it’s a tangible (and the only) mainstream alternative to Google’s monopoly.
