#3Will this actually let us fund Firefox development, or is it another way to line the pockets of the wildly overpaid Mozilla Foundation executives?
Sorry to be so negative, but as a long-time Firefox fan, I despair at the disparity between the funding for the Firefox team vs the executive team

#5> "Monthly articles with special depth on specific topics from industry experts as well as features to get more out of the MDN Web Docs" ... "includes the ability to use the MDN Web Docs offline, to create your own personal collection that you can access from any device, to be notified of changes to certain articles, and themes"
I'm not particularly impressed. Does anyone really want to pay for the modern version of Linda.com, when we're swamped with free tutorials and blogs already...?

#7I, for one, am encouraged to see Mozilla try and create new revenue streams.
I hope I am not the lone positive voice in the thread - it does seem no company gets quite the same level of criticism as Mozilla on HN

Is $210k in the Bay Area “wildly overpaid?”

Why don't you understand the fact that Mozilla isn't perfect in every way forces me to use the much more ethical browser made by Google. At least Google's CEOs aren't paid that much.. /s
