>'revenue' from Firefox was never enough
I mean I'm looking at the leadership page and all I can ask myself is do you need to pay that many executives just to build a web browser?
I'd be fascinated to know how much it costs Apple to develop Safari, a browser multiple times more successful than Firefox judging by Wikipedia. Just a hunch but I'd bet money it's a fraction of the cost of running this bloated pseudo-charity.
Best thing for the internet is for current Mozilla to fade out fast and something more sustainable be built from the technology remains.
- fock 6y agoyes. if there was someone like Stallman (for all its flaws he seemed to not have waste money on random capitalistic ventures) coming up and forking it, when it finally goes under, I'm happy to pitch in my 5$/month. If it's a charity for god knows what and includes a sizeable PR department: well....
- kingnothing 6y agoIf Mozilla sold devices bundled with Firefox as the default browser, Firefox would also be "multiple times more successful".
- wizzwizz4 6y agoThey did do that; see the Alcatel Pixi 3. Firefox OS is regarded as one of Mozilla's failures.
