Perhaps people don’t like to support people actively working against their rights.

By using Firefox you support Mozilla, so you support the CEO financing political campaigns you don’t agree with. The CEO is a special role that represents Mozilla.

It’s simple, the guy had to go.

He was attacked for donating $1000 to a majority supported proposition 6 years before he became CEO. Not only that but he had made ensuring that his actions as CEO would be fair and inclusive a major cornerstone of everything he had planned [1]. That is a post made almost immediately after his appointment as CEO. Nonetheless he was forced out after less than 2 weeks.

Sounds like a blog post wasn't enough.

I use Firefox because it's a functional browser with the best uBlock Origin support. Whatever political campaigns the guy in charge contributes to is not a factor, it's not even something I think about at all. I shouldn't even have to know who's in charge, if that information ever comes up it's probably a sign something's wrong.

> It’s simple, the guy had to go.

Mozilla is clearly worse off for it. Looks like the guy went and made another browser and now it's eating at Firefox's market share. Kind of ironic.

I understand that you don't care and it's fine. Some people do care.

[matheusmoreira]

I do care -- about the impact this guy leaving had on Firefox. Given the state of Brave today, one's gotta wonder what Firefox would've been like today had he not left.

Do I have to keep tabs on the CEO of every company I interact with? Come on, that’s ridiculous.

[speedgoose]

The company you work for perhaps. If you work for a company. Then it’s up to you. Most people don’t care but some do. You aren’t requested to check every CEO, no one said that.

You don't have to do anything lol. If you claimed to be progressive you might be called out for being hypocritical, but it's up to you whether that matters.

I do think choosing to live in a society does come with SOME social responsibilities though, don't you? Most we probably don't think about all that much, like not farting in public or whatever. Not scratching our crotches in public. Not cutting in lines. Stuff with no legal boundaries but are just general social responsibilities.
