Again not diminishing Firefox's efforts but it's difficult not to compare with other _leaner_ open-source projects.
As an example the Linux foundation [0] had 270M in expenses in 2023. Of which even we aggregate international operations and corporate operations the expenditure is less than 21M in G&A equivalent activities.

- calcifer 2y agoThe Linux Foundation is neither a project nor open source. It's an industry trade group. I don't think there is any feasible comparison.
- DoingIsLearning 2y agoFair point actually, governance wise the industry partners are probably not a huge expense because they want a seat at the table anyway.
- wkat4242 2y agoThe Linux Foundation is a bunch of corporate suits trying to steer Linux into their business interests. It doesn't have anything to do with the development really.
