The post says August 2023. Still way worth a read. Seems like an outright shady organization and paid for by g**gle.

Changed to DuckDuckGo two years ago happy with it so far.

Interesting.

That's a lot of money, and quite dubious use.

IANAL, but I can't help but wonder if the use of blatant lies to gather donations might constitute fraud.

I often raise this point, but it bears repeating.

> Interesting to note that the Mozilla CEO earned nearly as much ($5.6 M) as Mozilla received in donations ($7 M).

Baker did a CHM oral history some time ago, some of it is interesting, most of it is like deposing a lawyer.

I hope Mozilla can invest more in open source technology rather than political stuff.
