    I genuinely believe that the Mozilla board is secretly working for Google. They already get most of their funding from that search engine deal, is a backroom agreement to slowly run the organization into the ground in order to force the last holdouts over to Chrome that hard to believe?

        It’s better to treat incompetence as maliciousness, than to treat maliciousness as incompetence.

        The benefit of the doubt should only apply in the absence of a longstanding pattern of behavior to the contrary.

        IMO Mozilla has run out of goodwill.

          IMO Alphabet has run out of goodwill by abusing their market dominance in a more overt way.

          Looking forward to more aggressive action by FTC, note that tech donors have asked Harris for Lina Khan’s removal as a quid pro quo.

      I don’t think they’re working for Google but I’m convinced that they’re trying to setup their own advertising business

      Trying to get some of that sweet ad revenue money

      but Google controls so much of everything that of course they’re indirectly funded by Google, so it may look like they’re working for Google

      In this Tecnofeudalist reality that we live in, we all indirectly work for our feudal lords Google / Meta / Amazon. We are granted their grace and allowed to exist in their server space and use their internet cables. In return we have to work the land and give our data as a tribute.
