It's 75% of their income. Definitely obscene CEO salary but it's still true that Mozilla would die without this deal.

You said it right. Mozilla would die, not Firefox.

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, Firefox would die too. Or at least it would become completely irrelevant.

The open source community doesn't have enough manpower to maintain a browser engine.

We'll just agree to disagree.
