Well, I just explained you why. Firefox subsidizes the mothership which is doing a lot of non-Firefox activities. When you carve out Firefox, the mothership is gone.
- ryandrake 2y agoWhat I'm asking is why can't Mozilla just drop all the non-Firefox side quests?
- iteratethis 2y agoI'm guessing because they don't want to. Their "mission" is much larger than Firefox.
- octopoc 2y agoEverything they do has approximately zero value add to the community compared with the value add of having a legitimate alternative browser. It’s like saying, yeah I solved cancer, but my vision is so much bigger than that! I also invented an Excel formula that allows shoe stores to advertise 2% less expensively to dogs. We really need an alternative browser. We have one. But the people running it want to use your donations to do other things that are 100x less important.
- iteratethis 2y agoI totally agree with you. I'm just explaining Mozilla's motivation.
- curtisblaine 2y agoBut why Mozilla has this "mission"? Activists?
