OMG! Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% staff, drops advocacy division https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/mozilla-foundation-lays-off-30-200502497.html Did Google perhaps pressure them to do this?

    @[email protected] Speculation I’ve seen points more to Mozilla potentially worrying that after this antitrust case that’s ongoing, Google may not be able to pay other companies (Mozilla, Apple, etc.) to be the default search engine. So potentially more seeing that the money might dry up

    @[email protected] I think it’s more likely that Mozilla is trying to become another Google.

    @[email protected] It’s not unexpected, especially considering other tech layoffs.

    @[email protected] I don’t think Google told them to do that, probably they wanted to save money while looking for a way to make money

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don’t post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
