should say something like "goes to some non-profit exec leeches"

they don't care, millions have been going to mitchell baker's pocket for the last decades

maybe cost of $10000s (or even $100K+) to build. this is where your donations go towards!

Because that's a lie and that's their only marketing, resting on their goodwill from when they actually cared and did meaningful things about that stuff.

The current CEO used to be head of the foundation and board, so she was receiving $1M+ a year already, paid with those donations.

rather "privacy privacy privacy" is the only play they have left

the money they burned could have bought whatsapp and instagram.

i guess they should position themselves as software makers then, not social justice advocates https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/

Your $10/month donation will go straight into paying their CEO $3 million dollars per year and her inner circle.

They could have bought Whatsapp and Instagram with their spend over the last few years.

Revenue had never dropped for Mozilla. COVID had zero affect on their revenue stream as they lied in their layoff post. They get all their money from Google ad money to $500M a yea…

They had $500M in the bank. The whole "COVID affected our revenue" was a made up lie to save face. Every company has been using COVID as an excuse to do a lay off they've been mean…
