Mozilla Corp seems to be dead set on tearing out his own ethical spine; if it continues abandoning its values, at what point does its existence no longer matter?

Would it be before or after increasing the paycheck of an already overpaid CEO? Before or after writing a privacy policy that says they can sell user data to advertisement companies?

Yeah, the CEO is overpaid, but that's the norm for tech companies. Seems weird to simp for Google, who has a vastly higher paid CEO, though. Which is what the above user is doing when they're cheering on the prospect of browser engines that aren't chromium dying.

I don't really see how they're abandoning their values, either. This is about them having an AI system where they collect zero data and it's done 100% on your own machine.
