Surely, the mission of "looking good on twitter" is as noble as any. They probably have enough money from Google anyway, why would they need any other?

- woodruffw 5y ago> They probably have enough money from Google anyway, why would they need any other? If I was in charge of Mozilla's finances (which I'm not), I would be perpetually anxious about Google yanking their money as soon as its lawyers are sufficiently convinced that another browser vendor's marketshare sufficiently deflates any accusations of monopoly.
- smsm42 5y agoIf Google yanks their money, they're dead anyway. Unless they make similar arrangement with Microsoft or such. I don't see how they can exist and finance themselves as an independent entity.
- woodruffw 5y agoHence the fundraising. I don't personally find it surprising that "you're dead anyways" isn't an acceptable conclusion to Mozilla's leadership, regardless of whether it happens to be likely.
