Unfortunately, there are the ame stuff about Firefox too. Mozilla Foundation is such a corrupt organization with extreme shady finances.
Foundation's main income is royalties by google: 567M per year.
Donations: 7M (which almost goes to the CEO's bonuses)
the CEO gets 700K salary and 4.6M bonuses. Lmao.
I'd suggest, using Firefox but not donating to them.
Google keeps Mozilla under their thumb so that they keep using Google search by default
The only reason Google keeps Mozilla alive is so they can claim Chromium doesn't have a monopoly on browser engines.
Yes, exactly. They already know that fines for monopoly is more expensive that half a billion to spare to mozilla, lol.
Such a bad time to live.
I only have hope to Ladybird 🐞 now 🥺
I still root for https://servo.org/
Mozilla is not doing too well, but they are far from being Brave Software Inc. or Google. It's not like choosing between Musk and Zuckerberg. It's like choosing between Neil deGrasse Tyson and Hitler.
Hitlerscape lol
Not to forget that around 70% of the revenues cone from a single, non-disclosed, customer. My wild guess: it's Google...
EDIT: And they just significantly reduced their expenditures for Software Development...
I come from the future, now CEO's salary is almost 9M.
