You can follow these outlets' entire profiles, or just the topical Magazines that you're interested in. For example, if you want just history, you can follow @history-culture-NationalGeographic. Or want space news? Follow @nasa-Futurism

This is important. So I have to agree that #Mozilla is really taking the wrong direction and betraying fundamental principles.

Still, I think people are missing some important context that is difficult for Mozilla to communicate/admit.

They are probably *very* threatened by the Google anti-trust suit. Which doesn't sound like it makes sense, right?

In 2022, Mozilla brought in $510.389 million USD revenue from the royalties Google pays them to be the default search engine. That's ~86% of their $593.516 million USD total net revenue.

The thing is... Google was just found to be a search monopoly exactly because of deals like that making it *very* likely Google will have to kill the deal if they do not win on appeal.

So what I see is Mozilla seeing the looming guillotine of a 86% revenue cut and is desperately trying to cut down and pivot to survive.

Do I think Mozilla is overall good? Yes. Certainly compared to Google. Do I approve of their recent decisions? Absolutely not. Do I understand their situation? Yes.

Friday evening pasta thievery. [wait for it]
