I’ve tolerated them being in the gray zone for years with their neglect of Firefox. After their latest stunt they’re out for me. I would not donate to an org that openly neglects a social responsibility of this magnitude.

I agree with all of this with some minor modifications: C-level compensation is not a problem unless it’s a problem. Linus Torvalds is compensated handsomely, and it’s okay, because he still delivers. all the other Mozilla shit also isn’t

Nice work. This has been on my bucket list to make for a few years. If you ask me, yes: make an .html file for each non-orphan commit on each branch.
