How are you blaming the pandemic when you're a web browser?

It says revenues were up last year, just that the year was "not normal".

$585 million from search partnerships, $57 million mostly from advertisement and only $4 million from security products. That funding seems really misaligned with looking out for their user's privac. It's commendable that they still do it... but they are in a position where it could change very quickly and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Don't be fooled - they are a part of google's insurance against perceptions of monopoly. Their efforts are deliberately kept to the level of being PR but useless in reality.

So despite saying her strategy was to diversify revenue - what she delivered on is that Mozilla is even more dependant on ads than ever before.

"Diversified" into multiple ad revenue sources! You couldn't make this up.

What a disgrace. Baker must go!

I keep thinking if we should accept the reality of Blink browser monopoly, especially with open source vendors like Brave and Qute and Apple and MS to keep Google in check. Dunno if Mozilla is affecting the web nowadays. I still test/develop my company's software in Firefox and try to sort out rough edges.
