But.. I guess the real consideration, is why?
The reality is, the Mozilla CEO gets paid $5million a year. Although, I do respect that she was apparently there since the beginning
What benefit do I get for bug testing their browser? Why wouldn't I just use Chrome (which is also mostly open source anyway), which is fully compatible, and is still faster, and doesn't require me to submit sites on a regular basis?
They do have some interesting ideas, but a $3-$5mil salary for the CEO I feel could hire a lot of developers.
On the privacy front, don't forget that they are paid 500million by Google anyway, for google to be the default browser (same as they do with Apple). So, they have incentive not to step on Googles feet.
