The problem with Mozilla Corporation/Foundation is that they blew all their time/money/resources/lead on things that didn't matter, not helping pave the way forward, and then fired a lot of their staff to boot!

Mozilla was once a bright shinning beacon of hope for the open web, but they wasted their good will on too many of us, and it pains me to think what could have been.

Good will is nice but those people also need to eat and mozzilla really needed to find a revenue stream other than google paying them off so they don’t have to spend 100x the amount on antitrust litigations.

This is a perfect case in which I’d like to see my taxes funding their work.
