TLDR: The Mozilla Corporation claims to run on user donations, while official records prove they actually make so much money from web search defaults that if all user donations stopped, they’d be fine. The Mozilla Corporation spends it’s money on political activism companies or vague and shadowy companies that very little public information can be found on.

    Cringe article. While I agree that CEO pay is ridiculous, this is hardly a Mozilla only issue. And yes, Google is dominating tech, even paying Mozilla big sums. I just don’t get why the author is so pissed about their political budget. Guess what, people who fight for a free and open internet are usually leftists and leftist organizations. Shocking. Who could have known. I don’t even want to imagine how the author comes to the conclusion that this is some big conspiracy but I think we all know what political spectrum that guy belongs to.

    Why are people spamming this multiple times per day?

    Oh no the scary left wing people are trying to treat each other better. Why does that bother the right wing so much?

      Conspiracy theory: Chrome’s recent drama requires a push on this to keep people from fleeing to Firefox.

      But…fuck it, I fled to Firefox.

    overall expenses went way (way) down. By roughly $100 Million. With the deepest cuts being focused in “Software development”.

    Am I stupid or the author? The software development expenses went up by 40 million. That’s what the table says right there. What a pile of trash.

      2021 is the column on the left, 2020 is the column on the right. The author is correct (factually; conclusionally I’m less sure.)

        You are right. Who structures information after -> before? Oh boy. However, seeing that that was during the hight of Corona, I don’t know if that means anything. A few more years would help, but I still doubt the authors conclusion is correct.
