Mozilla doesn't build only a browser either and as a Rust user, am glad they don't.

  The Rust community prides itself on being independent from Mozilla, when their relationship is pointed out, but now Rust is suddenly a major beneficiary of those 500 million? They do build only a browser.

    > The Rust community prides itself on being independent from Mozilla, when their relationship is pointed out In terms of decision making, Rust is definitely a community oriented project, but there's not denying reality and at present practically all of Rust core devs who work on it full-time are paid by Mozilla. Were Mozilla to pull out support, development would likely continue, but at a much, much reduced pace. > a major beneficiary of those 500 million I agree with you that the vast majority of it is not going to Rust and I do wish they'd increase the share of their revenue that goes to engineering from 45% to something closer to 85%.
