    Because it’s for fundraising, and they maintain very generic vibe setting, and they know Elon Musk won’t buy it.

    The Foundation literally cannot focus on the browser, so what’s your continuing problem here?

      That the Mozilla organization as a whole, including the foundation, has lost track of what is actually good for a free and open internet. And it makes me sad

        What is good is not letting unethical corporations and only unethical corporations develop cutting edge technologies because me Firefox user and me not like anything ever change.

        Cat’s out of the bag, nothing ever goes back the way it was, you just get to live in the new world.

          Agreed the world is forever moving forward. Mozilla is being left behind.

          To close the loop on this whole discussion, the Mozilla foundations executive director hire was posted to a Firefox community, Firefox being owned by the Mozilla corporation. Clearly there is cross concern between these organizations, otherwise the post would not have been made here, you wouldn’t have read it, and you wouldn’t have been able to respond to it.

            Pretty much every time the foundation does anything a crapton of people complain about how it has nothing to do with the browser.

            Then more people comment and complain about Mozilla doing advocacy, or making a podcast, and how those resources should’ve gone into the browser, because they too have no idea there’s a difference.

            And it doesn’t help that the corporation and foundation are collectively referred to in press as Mozilla with no distinction.
