In a vacuum, no- but we all know life is more complicated than this chart. For example, how do they compare to the market rate of other CEOs? Are they increasing profitability (something marketshare alone doesn't say)? I'm not just gonna say "lower ceo pay = problem solved"- we have to do better. CEO pay is a systemic problem and needs a systemic solution- imo it should be capped across the spectrum or based on lowest employee pay but I'm sure I'm in the minority

The situation is always more complicated than a single graph can represent. Which is why I'm taking this in consideration with other context, and it's solidifying my impression that Mozilla is failing and I need to find a firefox alternative before they shit it up further chasing money to pay their CEO a ridiculously inflated "market rate". What good is some theoretical increased profitability (they're a non-profit!) if all it does is serve to further inflate already inflated compensation packages?

There is no Firefox alternative. There is Firefox and there is Chrome. Everything else is just a reskin of either one of them.

firefox is not gecko, but yeah there is a depressing lack of viable alternatives

[–] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Without Firefox there is no Gecko

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

There’s no gecko without Netscape either, but one of those isn’t around anymore.
