Mozilla exists to hinder the development of other browsers. They're the well financed vote spoiler. IIRC the CEO makes many millions a year while laying off browser developers.
- horsawlarway 2y agoI will second this opinion. Mozilla has strongly displayed a willingness to be "the other side of the coin" to Google's browser monopoly. They go hand in hand. IMO poster above is correct - they exist mostly as a scapegoat Google can point to in order to avoid monopoly claims (And Google is paying Mozilla more than 80% of their revenue to prop them up in this act). Mozilla markets themselves as the "privacy focused alternative" but in reality I find that marketing mostly whitewash. Please do pretty much anything else instead of giving this money to Mozilla.
