In the best of times, these things feed each other: The company makes great products that advance its goals for the web, and the nonprofit gets to both advocate for a better web and show people what it looks like."
"The company makes great products that advance its goals for the web, and the nonprofit gets to both advocate for a better web and show people what it looks like. But these are not the best of times. Mozilla has spent the last couple of years implementing layoffs and restructuring, attempting to explain how it can fight for privacy and openness when Google pays most of its bills, while trying to find its place in an increasingly frothy AI landscape."
Mozilla contains both a nonprofit organization focused on making the internet better and a for-profit arm focused on generating revenue. In strong times those two parts reinforce each other, producing products that advance web goals while the nonprofit advocates for a better web and models it. Recent years brought layoffs and restructuring while Mozilla struggles to reconcile privacy and openness goals with a financial dependence on Google. The organization is also seeking a role amid an increasingly frothy AI landscape. Anthony Enzor-DeMeo will run the for-profit company as CEO and sees opportunity, including space for a trusted AI browser.
