What. The. Fuck.
Probably because of the ad corp they bought
Nah it's not news that their ethos has been fading away for a long time now and that Mozilla just really isn't what it used to be a decade ago.
This is the Mozilla Foundation. They're legally a non-profit, so this isn't supposed to mean that they're reconsidering their stance. They can't do that. It's rather just them saying "shit's hard, yo".
The wikimedia foundation as a nice fraction of a billion dollars in stocks in order to not rely on donations
Yes but the for-profit Mozilla corporation will selfishly maintain control of the golden goose to the bitter end, even if they destroy it. They offer no value without Firefox and they know it.
