TLDR: The Mozilla Corporation claims to run on user donations, while official records prove they actually make so much money from web search defaults that if all user donations stopped, they'd be fine. The Mozilla Corporation spends it's money on political activism companies or vague and shadowy companies that very little public information can be found on.

Cringe article. While I agree that CEO pay is ridiculous, this is hardly a Mozilla only issue. And yes, Google is dominating tech, even paying Mozilla big sums. I just don’t get why the author is so pissed about their political budget. Guess what, people who fight for a free and open internet are usually leftists and leftist organizations. Shocking. Who could have known. I don’t even want to imagine how the author comes to the conclusion that this is some big conspiracy but I think we all know what political spectrum that guy belongs to.
