What is the right direction for an organization like Mozilla that needs to keep its lights on and pay a sizeable host of highly skilled developers?
- ivraatiems 13y agoWell, what are they doing now? Obviously it's been successful in keeping them open. Is there evidence they are actually in financial trouble and need this help?
- chc 13y agoWhat they're doing now is taking money from a large multinational advertising corporation that is also a direct competitor in the browser business. So Mozilla is already ad-supported, just at one level of indirection, with less control over how the ads are able to invade your privacy, and subject to the whims of a hostile party.
