I hope this doesn’t affect Mozilla’s funding

And Apple’s. Somebody should think about the shareholders.

I’m more concerned about Firefox dying because of a lack of funding and in turn giving Google even more of a monopoly over web standards

I’ve read that the main reason Google funds Mozilla is to prevent a monopoly situation. I bet they’ll stay committed.

Mozilla really does need to diversify their funding though.

I mean, it’s very convenient, when your only competition depends on your funding.

Say, if you cut a bit of that funding, it won’t immediately cease to exist. And you can double it in exchange for the right people taking the helm. There’ll be kickbacks almost impossible to prove.

This should be in the law. If your competition is funded by you, it’s not that.
