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

(Writing from FF) $7bn. 2.66% market share. "Expanding our Board to create the internet we want" Sure, as long as the music is playing. [Edit] Looks like the music will stop earlier than suspected, https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/11/firefox-brink/

Also laying off rank-and-file worker to save costs.

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 no clue if those are supposed to have content?

Update: Desktop browser mode shows that I am missing content. Also I was surprised at the amount that Privacy Badger and Ublock Origin were blocking. Disabling them didn't help the mobile rendering though.

Any accountants in the room?

It'd be good to get an informed view on the financial statement. In particular, the oft-spoken view that Mozilla is so critically dependent on Google funding that it is, in practice, prevented from doing anything that would displease big G.

It's good that Mozilla is still there to provide an alternative to the proprietary browsers and is fighting for open Internet standards. But the management direction and the aggressive political stance it took in the last years is not really good for the project.

Also big kudos for Rust, been playing around with it and it really is a great improvement over archaic languages like C or C++.

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.
