And there are still many folks who believe that Mozilla is still a foundation. Yet another corporation.

It's both.
And to add to the conversation, the Foundation is the "wOkE" side that chuds love to hate for their social justice efforts, the point being that this decision might as well have nothing to do with the Corporation, since even folks aligned with social justice causes in the West are pro the Russophobia going on right now.
Why did this post from 1 year ago pop up today?

I switched to Librewolf on the desktop and Fennec on Android. Mozilla has disappointed me recently several topics beyond this politicization. It's sad because I have been a Mozilla enthusiast for decades.
WTF Mozilla?
This is nonsense.
Fucking hell Mozilla. First DuckDuckGo, now Firefox. And Brave still refuses to pull its head out of its ass to be a viable alternative. The Fediverse continues to prove that it is the future for people like us, fuck corporations.
Yeah, Brave's CEO is Brendan Eich. That put me off right there. Mozilla aren't perfect, but at least they kicked him to the curb.
The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It's definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
