Both of your accusations of "slimy things done to make money" fail to pass Hanlon's razor. They can be easily attributed to incompetence and even if malicious they would not be that profitable to begin with.
Re: Mozilla's "work". What is the point of being so protective of the "apple orchard" and having justification for all the money and resources that it spends, if the results are completely worthless?
What is the point of spending HALF A BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR, and get a web that is increasingly dominated by Big Tech and surveillance capitalism? Who cares about "innovation awards" if all the products they have still depend on the company that exploits consumers and consumer data?
I don't want to look at Mozilla and think "oh, but look at all the nice things they are doing". "Niceness" is overrated. We need something that can actually solve the problem.
Mozilla is not doing ANY of that, and its CEO is still taking $3M/year home. That is not just slimy, it is diabolical.
