I don’t disagree but your post greatly misses the challenge Mozilla has competing against literally the best funded for profit organizations the world has ever seen.

How is rust supposed to help?

The free market isn’t interested in much that Mozilla does or could offer. Hopefully that changes but when it does it might not be Mozilla that’s around to heed the call.

Counterpoint: after they fired their CEO, he founded Brave, which seems to be doing just fine. And I take issue with Mozilla not being a for-profit org, despite whether they are a "non-profit foundation" or not; they made literally more than a billion per year for a decade from putting Google as their top search "partner". Call it what you like, but to me, that's just paid advertising.

I'm curious to see how Brave fares in the post-crypto novel AI world.

One revenue stream down, the business model itself potentially getting automated away.
