Mozilla has been a horrible steward for their project. They receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year and I have no idea where this money goes. It also doesn't help that their organization is full of purity testing and social activism nonsense that has nothing to do with making a good web browser. At this point I'm convinced that the reason that google is paying them so much is because they actually know that firefox is a failed project and keeping it alive as a zombie project actively protects them from anti-trust violations.

- dralley 3y agoThe Mozilla Foundation is not the Mozilla Corporation. Mozilla Corporation is the entity that develops Firefox and realizes revenue from Firefox.
