Jeez why are mozilla execs the dumbest people in the fucking room! Next they will say the earth is a spheroid.

I fail to see how this is new news, we have known this for years now, no?

I looked at their finances --which anyone can do-- and even if Google were to remove their funding tomorrow, Mozilla still has about 2-3 years of reserve capital they can burn through. Not optimal but it is not like they will disappear in a year.

Clearly, not a position they would want to be in, but they are not disappearing overnight.

Open source aint going anywheres, no worries here

Open-source projects like this require dozents of full-time developers. It will be dead without a company like Mozilla running it. Imagine the Linux kernel with only hobbyist developers...
