Mozilla just can't help themselves, can they?
Seriously, once Google is broken up and their donations to Mozilla stop, I won't be sad when Mozilla is forced to shut down.
These "lapses in judgement" are driven by Mozilla's brass representing the desires of their real masters. A post-Google Mozilla may be smaller, but I bet Firefox would be better and more popular.
I hope so, but I wouldn't count on it.
I wish they'd get smaller first, build up a fund so they could literally just invest in the stock market and run indefinitely off the returns, and only then go Google-free. That would be a more permanent solution.
That sounds like it'd make less money for the CEO, why would they be interested in that?
Mozilla no longer does what is good for Firefox.
Yeah, I think getting sold to a company like Proton AG would be the better outcome for Firefox.
