Really insightful, I didn't even realize any of that.
I really thought both the Foundation and the Corporation were hurting.
I'm assuming the research you refer to is their WebVR thing and I get it but how do they abandon Servo as a core differentiator and then focus on something that is at best years away.
If she were performing, fine, take your $2.5 million but when you let 1/4 of your team go and should have seen it coming, I'm just not so sure it's a justification for management.
They're a browser - or should be - and the internet didn't just up and get quarantined because of the pandemic. To me, it's apparent that they saw the browser as secondary to the other items and it made no sense.
Really interesting analysis, thanks.
- uberman 6y agoIf you believe that Mozilla should fundamentally be Firefox (and I am sure many would agree) you will probably be frustrated to learn that Google gives Mozilla about $500 million a year for that and that The Core Firefox team is about 40 people. All the rest of the formerly 1000 employees do other things on behalf of Mozilla but generate basically no revenue. I personally place a huge value on some of these "other" projects though such as MDN the absolute best documentation out there for the web.
