Mozilla gets millions in donations, but they give millions to their CEO and millions to political activists. Had Mozilla demonstrated they couldn't survive on donations alone I (and presumably others) would be a little more forgiving. But right, from my perspective, it looks like the board is using the Mozilla coffers as their personal piggy bank instead of making a good faith effort to do anything that would allow them to survive without enshittifying.

Bloat is heavy... Signal has similar issues IMHO

Product development is second or third order business.

So what kind of ceo would they get if they paid pennies? That would be a better scenario?

Then it would be "mozilla can't do shit with that crap ceo".

I don't know. I'm really thankful we still have mozilla. May not be perfect but Google is horrible, so.
