Nothing much changed in terms of % here YoY: still almost 50% of salaries going to management, ~25% of total company expenditure. I wonder if Mitchell has given herself another enormous raise on top of last year's 5 million.

A few folk commenting on Mozilla's dependence on Google for revenue; it would certainly be easier to reason about reducing that dependence if their expenditure was a little more transparent: killing various projects as cost cutting measures seems odd in the context of their published management salary figures.

I dont like Brave because of the Crypto stuff. But they have way better communication around this with more simple tweets and posts of what they ACTUALLY do. What is even going on, on this page? So much coroprate speak I feel like I am reading my for-profit company intranet page.

Agreed. Nothing could exemplify the distance between Mozilla and Firefox users more than this page.

Ironic that this website feels pretty janky on Firefox for Android. The Read link under "Internet by the people for the people" leads to a page that has lots of rendering artifacts as your scroll through it, like colors blinking in, and also it fills your browsing history with every swipe. Below the financial statement and form 990 links there's just tons of blank space separated into different color segments. I have…

pixel 6a, firefox with ublock origin - no artifacts, no missing content I can find. Maybe its privacy badger?

Or maybe it could be screen size or Android version, since turning off privacy badger didn't change anything. I have an LG V60.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You heard wrong? https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo

I mean the approval process for packages in Cargo is controlled by vendor.

Do you mean the default crates.io registry Cargo uses? Cargo is the package manager, it supports alternative registry definitions and local packages all set in the dependency file. You can run your own private or public registry, or use someone else's, and publish anything you want.

I await the usual complaints about Mozilla's side projects as well as the dependence on the search box money from Google. Firefox is never going to be a thing as long as humanity moves from desktops to mobiles where changing the built in browser is very uncommon.

Using Dark Reader on Firefox Mobile is worth the price of admission. Most people don't know about plugins though, other than maybe adblock.

Couldn't they just make a list here? I can't really follow what's going on with stuff popping in as I scroll.

I'm not sure if putting this content into a list would have helped, the main impression is that leadership wrote a brochure to entice investors but then published it under the title "State of Mozilla".

This looks like its only fluffy aspirational stuff rather than the clear presentation of its current status the title implies.
