Arguably that Firefox is open source, and Safari is not.

I really think the whole open source designation Mozilla tries to play off of is sort of slimy. Hundreds of millions of dollars regularly funnel through it. I understand the legality of it all and the technical truth to it, but it seems like the spirit of open source really isn't being portrayed that well as compared to a browser like say NetSurf, which I look at and can actually see a group of likeminded hobbyists supporting something they enjoy without money clouding everything over.
That's completely orthogonal to "open source".
