    Mitchell Baker was important for Mozilla/Netscape in the past. She was the primary author of Mozilla Public License in 1998 (MPL 2.0 is a very good license). I bet that many of us …

    With Mitchel Baker at helm, all the initiatives that would make Firefox more embeddable were cancelled to cut cost. Now Firefox can't be used to make webapps effectively, the only …

    Does no mechanism exist to fire Mitchell Baker or, at least, addressing her leadership at Mozilla?

    People complain all the time and nothing changes. She doesn't care and in a month everybody forget that Firefox is in dire straits. Google's Chromium project push new standards eve…

    She is an old timer that is with Mozilla since the beginning. Should be pretty hard to challenge her from the inside after Brendan Eich departure. What I have to say is that Brenda…

    Most Chromium reskins are limited forks, they are always dependent on Google decisions and will always comply (Mv3). Brave and Vivaldi are exactly that, at least they could use Ung…
