In this regard they are a failure, but I absolutely don't want them to be. Success for Mozilla is having a popular, open, sustainably funded and independent browser. The only things they really are successful in is raising funds. Both are severely mismanaging funds away from the things people actually care about. Both Mozilla and Wikipedia should operate with the goal of improving their product. >Similar to wind power, I'd guess their continued success in the face of this contributes to the feelings of anger towards them. Accusing people of concern trolling when they point out legitimate issues is a sure way to never get these issues fixed. The concerns are legitimate and ofen raised by people who genuinely want Mozilla to be better. How is it "concern trolling" to point out that Mozilla is kept alive by Google and unable to allocate funds appropriately? I am a Firefox user and I want Mozilla do be serious competition against Google.
A modern browser is comparable in effort to supporting an entire operating system, because that's what browsers kind of are nowadays.Ībout the only other option is to lay off all their staff in SF and Paris and other HCoL areas and relocate to Central and Eastern Europe.

Barring that, they have a lot of software to maintain if they want a truly independent browser. The fastest way to "become a lean organization" would be to just give up and become yet another Chromium clone. Much of which has to be as high performance as possible while simultaneously not being ludicrously insecure, because the threat environment is basically as hostile as it gets.

You don't need 200M to develop firefox.īased on what logic? It's 20+ million lines of code touching half if the "hard" problems of computer programming - graphics, fonts, encodings, localization, JIT engines, hardware acceleration, support for multiple architectures (including aforementioned JIT), support for multiple operating systems, massive parallelism, sandboxing, WASM support, hardware support abstractions like WebUSB and WebMIDI, etc, and a massive swamp of compatiblity hacks, and literally books worth of new standards they have to implement every year.
