Annual compensation for Mitchell BAKER:
I am OK with greed in raw capitalism. However regarding the recent performance of this “non-profit” organization…
What do you think?
Oh we’re doing the mozilla dunking here too now?
Oh we’re doing the mozilla dunking here too now?
If you have interesting resources to read, please don’t hesitate to share. I am not an expert on Mozilla.
- the organisational structure of Mozilla is more complicated than just “non-profit”
Indeed, but that’s the official status.
- Mozilla may have lost marketshare for FF but they do other things besides FF
In its history Mozilla was the origin of great products.
However, as of now the performance of Mozilla doesn’t seem great, which is not a surprise when I see the management of the foundation.
- Are we going to stan Apple because Tim Cook took a pay cut to avoid layoffs at Apple?
Every organization has its own interests.
I am just asking whether the increased money gathered by Mozilla’s top management is justified by a particular performance of Mitchell BAKER that benefits all of the users of Mozilla’s products or it is just a hold-up on a dying company.
When I see that the revenue of Mozilla is decreasing I think that my question is not so stupid to ask.
And if I see that the strategy of Mozilla is bad, I can easily anticipate that the future of the Mozilla’s products will not be good because of a lack of good sponsorship, which is sad because Mozilla has done a lot regarding privacy.
Since most of Mozilla’s revenue comes from Google’s search engine royalty in Firefox, other Mozilla products are not of any significance in terms of revenue.
Mozilla’s CEO salary is going up while its main product’s market share is going down, is an interesting development. I really want to see how this will come to an end.
Just curious:
Privacy problem is where?
As I said:
I can easily anticipate that the future of the Mozilla’s products will not be good
Hence it is a personal opinion that I should not use Mozilla’s products and derivatives from the recommended tools for privacy.
I may be wrong but that is the bet I prefer to make for my personal interest.
It does seem a lot for a non-profit. Other non-profit CEOs that I did search for didn’t have a salary even half as high. Maybe they are comparing her salary with a profitable entity’s?
It has been noticed for more than a few years, though. The board must really want her.
It’s interesting to see how people pick Browsers.
Nothing wrong with it.
There’s a lot of people who won’t use Brave because of thier CEO. And they dig up a whole bunch of links too.
Checking the www on browser market share I realized that FF is not doing so bad, considering that Chrome and Safari are pre installed on mobile devices and most ppl don’t give a s…t what browser they use.
So my conclusion is:
Internet is like soup, fresh cooked soup. You won’t eat it as hot as it is cooked 
Its funny you say that because Ive noticed iPhone users here in Portugal tend to use Google Chrome and will tell you if prompted as to why they dont just use Safari, that its slow, drains battery or doesnt load pages correctly. Thats despite them both using the same rendering engine on iOS, as we know (on a slow device you used to even be able notice when booting Chrome the Safari interface loading before being replaced by the Chrome one) 
Thats how strong marketing can be. Few people here use Apple devices and Chrome is a very strong brand so even if someone buys an Apple device theyll immediately install Chrome on it. This to say that the defaults argument doesnt justify everything
What? Literally when was it like that? I collect old iPhones and also used Chrome on a couple different iOS devices from ~2011-2015 and I genuinely have never seen the safari UI load first.
It doesn’t, but Google spent 36% of their revenue this year (more than 20 billion dollars) just on a deal with Apple to make Google the default search engine on Safari. Clearly they think defaults matter a lot.
Google is the only company that really advertises their browser, though. I’ve seen it aggressively advertised on YouTube, on streaming services, and on regular TV. Technically Microsoft advertises Edge on Windows, too…
It was in an OG iPad Air. Also happened with keyboards, youd see Apple’s keyboard opening for a brief moment only to be replaced by google’s. I assume it would also happen with other third-party keyboards
And yet the first thing everyone does is install Chrome and never use Edge
I literally have had an iPad Air 1 from launch and used it until last year and never experienced that.
Good for you, I suppose. The one I had was the highest capacity one and was loaded with hundreds of apps. That thing was slow, it would take 5 seconds to pull up the keyboard, you could very distincly see the whole process…
Maybe you managed to have it during early iOS 11, the first few versions were buggy as hell.
I dont recall exactly the OS versions, but I was enrolled in the betas since they normally added functionality that was useful to me
This is not the place for a salary envy debate, you might want to try the Wall Street Journal forum for that.
I doubt anyone here has the insight and knowledge to judge the appropriateness of a specific CEO’s wage.
