Nearly a Year Later, Mozilla is Still Promoting OneRep.

Pocket. A closed source binary blob in a "open source" project.

Orbit: AI productivity tool.

Anonym: Ad server.

Locking down extensions.

Cutting 250 jobs while raising executive pay 400%.

In 2021 the CEO made 5.5 million. They got about 7 million in donations that year.

80% of their revenue is from google. But google encourages them to waste the money on stuff not related to the browser because it's competition to chrome. Their job us to look like a viable competitor but not be good one.

The browser is constantly getting worse on performance, user experience, and customizability.

They have gone from 34% user share to 2.2%. So clearly I'm not alone in my opinion of the current state of the browser.

The same Mozilla that people donate to for them to spend their money on stupid bullshit & anti-LGBTQ+ CEOs?
