There is an interesting inverse correlation of Mozilla CEO salary and amount of users Firefox has. I think it's normal to pay competitive salary too, but the salary should reflect one's impact on the company. Looking at the current state of Firefox, I can't imagine why their CEO is compensated as they are.
Firefox isn’t, and never was, Mozilla’s revenue source.
It may seem an advantage to use the latest cutting edge features of a single platform, instead of using well established standards which are compatible with every browser. Sure, you are going to leave out some small minority of users, but you gain access to many new features. However, you are helping push the web become an increasingly centralized place, controlled by just a few entities, with interests which are ver…
I can count the number of developers I've worked with over the last 5 years that care about it working in any browser other than Chrome on one finger. This idea that only Chrome matters is absolutely coming from the bottom up and when you point out something broken in Safari the first response from them is "Does it work in Chrome?" before they even look at it because they themselves don't even test in a second browse…

firefox has serious performance issues, i had to switch to chromium. i really want to support firefox in my development but their tooling is just not presented in a rational footprint. when i inspect a vue proxy object, i dont want to see all the setters and getters. they are losing mind share because neight to user facing components normthe dev facing have a well considered presentation or pefformancd
After Chrome's RAM guzzling architecture and Firefox' Rust rewrite promises, reading this is so disappointing.

>> instead of using well established standards which are compatible with every browser That's the problem. Firefox isn't keeping up with standards.
Firefox is doing quite well with the standards. Chrome is implementing things beyond the agreed-upon standards. Which to some extent has to happen in order to advance standards, but that only works if the changes are agreed upon or at least not disagreed upon by other implementations. These days Chrome is forging ahead even in the face of disagreements (usually on grounds of privacy or security). And to be clear, Fir…

What correlation does CEO salary and open source have? Maybe the comment thinks about "not for profit" org - but even then it seems normal to pay people a competitive salary.

The amt of politics required to be dealt with == big compensation.

"Web Browser" === "Chrome" I suppose we're back in the golden era of "Works Best With Internet Explorer."

What? The primary revenue source of Mozilla is Firefox due to the search engine revenue they get

Note that internal HDDs aren't taxed under this tax, only external ones. (So if you don't want to pay it, you can just buy a SATA HDd and an adaptor). Phones are taxed though (yes this doesn't make any sense technically)
Is the tax on a phone's storage capacity or its overall retail price?
