To the casual observer, it appears the CEO is being paid/rewarded to shed Firefox users. Who would want them to do that?

- wmf 3y agoMarissa Mayer was paid more to accomplish even less. Maybe that's just what she's worth.
- waterhouse 3y agoWell, nearly all of Mozilla's revenue (I see numbers around 80-90%) comes from Google. And Google presumably doesn't mind if Firefox users switch to Chrome. I'm not sure if anyone involved actively considers this the goal, but it's possible that this creates some perverse incentives.
- squarefoot 3y agoI just don't see how having their biggest revenue coming from their #1 competitor wrt browser adoption, can't create a plain and simple conflict of interests.
- jqpabc123 3y agoI'll bet $7 million of Google money could make any conflict look less interesting.
