Unlike Edge, Chrome, Opera, or Safari, which are obviously corporate assets, Mozilla is also part non-profit, and going by their PR, a defender of privacy and the open web.

When money from search, which whittles away at privacy to deliver the right ads, or money from Verizon, who isn't a friend of privacy or the open web, is what keeps the lights on, don't you think that is just a little misleading to Joe Internet who is thinking about donating his time or money to their cause?

Did you read the links? It's not like Verizon wants to pay that money. I think you're confused about how incentives work...

Already read the first article. Didn't read the bloomberg article about the buyout provision, so my fault. Retracting the Verizon complaint.
