Overlooked is that it's one of two incredible successes that have come out of Mozilla:
* The open web, David defeating Goliath Microsoft (arguably like a small open source retailer defeating Amazon today).
* Rust: Not entirely Mozilla, but they played an essential, major role nurturing it, and were among the first to deploy it.
Any others that I'm overlooking?

- kibwen 4y agoLet's Encrypt was also originally from Mozilla. In addition, I seem to recall that the Alliance For Open Media and its AV1 codec also derives from Mozilla sponsoring Xiph.org's Monty to come up with an unencumbered, next-gen media codec.
