What are the issues I have with Mozilla? They're floundering with little direction and seemingly incompetent management.
They laid off a bunch of their key engineers while they continue to increase the CEO's compensation. They keep making half baked decisions with regards to features and marketing that don't seem conducive to their core offering, like the Pocket integration. They completely killed PWA integration, that only works now with an extension and third party software. They retired BrowserID. They orphaned Thunderbird. There's probably more I'm forgetting.
Thanks for explaining. I wasn't updated with all of these. I just use their browser. And thought they are some nice company.
No for-profit is nice, but they are the lesser shit of the two choices we have. Remember that the Mozilla Corporation is a for-profit, the Mozilla Organization is a non-profit. There is a clear conflict of interest between those two entities.
I do and will continue to use their browser because it's the only choice I have if I want to stand by my principle of supporting a free and open web.
