#32"Firefox needs new revenue streams to be sustainable. New products and services under Mozilla’s umbrella should reflect the same commitment to privacy that defines Mozilla." This is admirable, but how what would Mozilla replace the 85% ( $555M) revenue with by ditching Google? I'm assuming a portion of the 15% of revenue is from Mozilla VPN, MDN Plus, etc and also the pay packets of the executives needs to significan…
Maybe they will find out you don’t need $555M a year to make a web browser. First good step would be to fire that useless CEO.
The only other browser spends significantly more than that. If it's so much cheaper, you'd expect organizations like Microsoft to have stayed in the game.

The one who stepped down a year ago? Or do you have some issue with the interim? They're still looking for a permanent one

#33So who are going to fund them? Sorry for being cynical, but this "petition" sounds like telling depressed people to "just be more positive." Sure, just find more revenue streams. Just be sustainable. It's so easy!

The reason they're cozying up to ad-tech is because they're trying to ditch Google.
Modern adtech goes entirely against their core values.
