> Non-profits are mission driven.
Nobody works for Mozilla Foundation. The employees work for Mozilla Corporation, a taxable / for profit entity entirely owned by Mozilla Foundation. They have precisely one revenue stream worth mentioning: search bar contracts. Those contracts are bid on by for profit companies, who will be bidding based on perceived value per search, searches per user, and total users.
The introduction of Chrome should concern Mozilla Corp employees, and the ceding of market share to it should be terrifying. Your capacity for The Mission is diminished if user base declines, because bids will decline.
