- growlist 6y agoGod forbid they might think about concentrating solely on making the best browser eh? Where would that end!
- galacticdessert 6y agoPeople have incentives. Google employees likely are there to have the experience on their resume and monetize later. Mozilla people work for a non profit, hence they are probably motivated by social activism rather than money or fame.
- sgift 6y agoRoughly where we are now. Making the best browser doesn't pay the bills.
- dblohm7 6y agoI think you should look back at Mozilla's mission before making a statement like that. As Kvark wrote above [1]: > Mozilla is not a software company today that tries to be an internet activist. Mozilla is an activist company that also happens to develop software to prove their point. So no, it's not just about the web browser. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24120561 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24120561
- stomatomot 6y agohow can they fight for racism if their company is composed only of white people? in a country full of diversity (without counting interns)
- qaq 6y agoLook at the leadership team of mozilla corp to easily guess if the statement is fluff or they actually mean it.
- dependenttypes 6y agoSadly considering their behaviour regarding ads, the default search engine, telemetry, sending the sites that you visit to google, pocket, etc it seems that they no longer care about making the internet a better place and that their focus it profit.
