Looks like Mozilla will always depend on that google check lol.

The headline is ambiguous here. The CEO in question is from Onerep, not Mozilla.

And that is not related to the comment. If this partner is gone, Firefox lost a big deal.

Context. People seemed to be complaining about Mozilla's CEO. That's why I wanted to clarify for anyone reading the comments first.

This CEO has been a problem from day one, and there needs to be a movement to get rid of them.

[–] Samueru@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn't the CEO recently step down or am I confused?

She did. People are dumb.
