Do you have any concerns about Google's CEO's salary ($226 million) or failed products (https://killedbygoogle.com/)?

The question here isn't "is Google's CEO bad?" it's "Should I be using Firefox on the assumption that it will help create a 'free' web?". I don't care about anyone else's salary.

And no I don't care about their other failed products, it's totally irrelevant.

It's quite hard to take your ideological stance seriously.

OK I don't know why this is hard to understand.

1. I use Chrome because Chrome works best for me

2. People are proposing I use Firefox because Firefox has a mission that people want to align with

3. Firefox has terrible leadership and can not execute on their mission, I am not switching browsers to one that's run by an utter failure unless they either build a much better browser or they fire the fool who has put them in this position

Ok, but your points have nothing to do with that question. I agree, salary and unrelated products are irrelevant to this discussion.

And nobody is asking you to "bet on" Firefox. If you start using it and the company somehow collapses, you could switch to another browser in less than 10 minutes. You don't need to buy stock in Mozilla or something.

Bringing up Google has nothing to do with the conversation...it's just whataboutism in the purest sense.

Mozilla has a terrible CEO, Google has nothing to do with that.

Google only has to do with that because this thread is about GP using Chrome instead of Firefox because of Mozilla‘a CEO.
