Comment on Welcome to Mozilla’s first-ever Annual Consumer Creep-O-Meter
otter@lemmy.ca 1 year agoMozilla’s core purpose isn’t to make profit, and so some projects won’t (and shouldn’t) be focussed on making money. I don’t think people would trust the recommendations if there was a profit aspect mixed in
Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent

are they not a for-profit company?

My understanding is that Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on open & accessible internet, and they have a for-profit arm that helps fund those initiatives.
So it’s possible that the for-profit arm might axe projects that aren’t working / not bringing in money, since otherwise it would put their wider goals at risk.

Aaah, gotcha. For someone reason I thought it was the other way around. Thanks
