Reading the public docs shows Google contributes 90+% of Mozilla's revenue, basically it has been keeping Mozilla alive so that it can avoid antitrust allegations. But if you look at the tweets and stuff from their blog post, mostly they have killed off their R&D, which is actually where all the interesting stuff from the last few years has come; wasm, rust, servo, vr & ar. Without that stuff and since Google has squeezed the money pipeline, they're reduced to BS areas which are already super competitive like vpns. What next, antivirus? Fn goodluck with that. Mitchell Baker should have been put out to pasture long ago and the new exec ranks look stacked with diversity hires. Inclined to agree with OP.
