the user has to know, that Mozilla is very much (still) dependant on Google’s money.

update: 2022-05:

• okay… maybe Mrs Baker did not “destroy” Firefox-Mozilla, but at least brought it into the financial dependency on Google-Alphabet.
• this means:
  • massive amount of money for Mozilla
    • “the deal, which ZDNet estimates is worth between $400 and $450 million per year” (src: theverge.com)
  • this financial dependency can impossibly go without “entangelment” X-D (meaning: it is almost as if Google bought Mozilla)

Always say something positive first:

• Mozilla is-was a beacon of the internet, an icon for freedom and privacy.
• THE ALTERNATIVE to the corporate browsers.
• Mozilla’s software suite is truly essential to everyday life of Open Source based users, be it the browser, thunderbird with it’s excellent support for excellent mail sync over multiple devices via IMAP (might laugh but M$ had MASSIVE trouble supporting IMAP) & webdav for cross device (SAMSUNG A5 works great SAMSUNG S7 TABLET… FUNCTION REMOVED? #wtf GOOGLE? #wtf SAMSUNG?)
• Mozilla has steadily worked to keep the web an open and free one, where no user had to be afraid of freedom of speech

now the not so positive:

• the problem is: Mozilla has become completely dependent on funding from Google… and everything that goes with it.
  • while this (should) allow to pour a lot of money into “alternative” projects, Google can any time cut the funding, if Mozilla does something, Google does not like (like create alternative products and services).
  • so complete loss of independence there
    • via a donation system of $1 per year per user… this could have been easily avoided

The software quality will probably get worse and worse & maybe Firefox will disappear completely. Why? Two reasons. Mozilla (the company/foundation behind Firefox) had (now actually they still have) a contract with Google, Mozilla will participate in advertising revenues if Google becomes the default search engine in Firefox.

Probably Google also has/had infiltrated Mozilla to extract as much valuable info as possible to copy it into Chrome browser.

Betrayed and sold: Yes, also corrupt women exist:

• The head of the Mozilla Foundation Mrs Baker, has allowed herself constant salary increases (to ~ $ 2.5 million per year), at the same time Firefox has massively lost market share to Google Chrome
  • Current market distribution (largely stable/hardly any change):
    • Google Chrome Browser: 65%
    • Apple Safari: 20%
    • Firefox: 4% <- which will probably make Google think, why they should continue the above default search engine deal, so no revenue there anymore, congratulations! you have been bought up by the competition!

  • 
• She PROBABLY has a secret deal with Google, as soon as Mozilla has died, She can switch to Google in the executive floor
  • that’s aprox what happened before the sale of NOKIA to Microsoft (the CEO ruined the company to MS can buy it cheap)
  • Mozilla had to lay off many developers
    • In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.^[14]
    • On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%.
    • When asked about her salary she stated “I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That’s too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to.” (src: Wikipedia)
• Thunderbird is also from Mozilla but is developed by a group of volunteers.

the answer should: MRS BAKER, PLEASE RESIGN & LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE JOB, SO YOU CAN FINALLY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND EARN 5x MORE MONEY WITHOUT DESTROYING THE INTERNET & MOZILLA FOUNDATION! THANK YOU!

IN OTHER WORDS: GET LOST BEFORE YOU DO MORE “GOOD”! (ME SO ANGRY!)

“Congratulations” to everyone involved!
