Nitpick- Should this be, "leaving his role"? How about:

Chris Beard will be leaving his role as Mozilla CEO

Chris was great from what I have seen, but I think Mozilla needs a CEO that knows how to increase market share.

Leaving has a negative connotation

The hard part will be doing it while not running afoul of the ethical standard that they have set for themselves, and so many of us hold them to.

It's easy to increase market share if you're willing to play dirty and have lots of money to throw around. When you have neither... well, I'd hate to be the new CEO.

Can't help but wonder how Brendan Eich would have fared in the job.

Well, Brave started from nothing and seems to be growing. I use it now on all my devices and really like it as a daily driver.

Had Brendan been able to try these ideas with the firefox userbase it could've advanced the privacy conversation much further...

Is he jumping out of the ship before it sinks?

I made a proposal for making mozilla sustainable: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/24026

BTW does anyone know why 2018 is the first year from Mozilla where finance results were not published? Is there anyway to know how much less money they make than in 2017 (500 millions$)
