    Dude, take two steps back and try to make sense of your own claim - that $197M somehow equates to executive pay and the CEO, the highest paid person, makes $7-9M… Do they have the largest executive team ever and they’re all making the same as the CEO?

    Learn how to read and understand a financial statement and stop trying to claim that G&A = executive pay

    I fear you have no idea how to read a financial statement

    Total expenses for 2023 were $496 million (plus income tax puts it at $511 million). Total salary expenses were $328 million, approximately 66% of all expenses. On the financial statement, there is absolutely no mention of executive compensation so no clue where you’re pulling this line that executive compensation made up 40% of all expenses.

    You’ve got it backwards. It’s the threat of anti-trust against Google’s ownership of Chrome that puts Firefox at risk. Google has pretty much always supported / paid Firefox either to have Google as the default search or more direct support to stave off the anti-trust claims.

    However, if Google has to sell / spin-off chrome, there is no longer as big of a reason to fund Mozilla and that’s why you’re seeing Moz scramble to find new ways to find funding. This AI push is no doubt a desperate attempt to lure in investor dollars as they’re reading the room and see that their current funds will likely disappear in the coming years
