#2Disgusting. I hope that Mozilla can re-focus on their original mission, and align their finances with building the best browser possible rather than wasting it on political activism.

#3As with Wikipedia, what I assumed how the organization operated and how it does is vastly different.
Basically everything here seems biazarre and makes trusting Mozilla very hard. Does anybody believe that they can stand up against Google, when Google, at any point they want to, could crash their whole operation?
I think it is quite likely that Google is keeping Mozilla afloat to avoid anti-trust allegations. Mozilla existing is worth a few hundred millions to Google. But Mozilla apparently has no real use for that money, they spend around 200M on software developmemt that means one thousand high paying software developer positions. And they could hire hundreds of more developers at any point.

#4Not going to argue the article, Mozilla should be doing better. But the author obviously is trying to push some politics not so subtly.

#5Mozilla should convert to a worker owned enterprise and stop giving all of that money to execs.

The compensation to execs seems irrelevant. That is almost literally just a Google bribe.
Mozilla pays 200M for software development, from that I can only assume that they pay quite generously and they seem to have absolutely no issue with money, as they are funded by Google.
To me it seems hey have more money than they know what to do with. Hardly something which could be fixed by workers rising up and taking care of distributing Googles Millions.

Should still convert to a worker owned enterprise. Democratically the workers most likely wouldn't vote to waste money on Google bribes like the execs have.

Sure, they would equitably distribute the Google bribe amongst themselves.
