Mozilla's elimination of its advocacy group -- which worked for the open web against the monopolists and cartels -- is a terrible move, but not totally surprising. I speculate that Google has informed Mozilla that its massive financial subsidy will be dropping or ending.

It's not a subsidy. It's a financial transaction. And that had nothing to do with it. But I guess this is the world we live in now and that's why the orange fascist might win.

I guess if you're accused of being a monopolist, you have two choices: don't be a monopolist, or total commitment to being a monopolist.

I'm just glad Mozilla's leadership team is well compensated.

Yeah, Google wants to force Firefox to support Google's Manifest V3 and eliminate ad blockers entirely.

bad speculation since that depends on how many searches are made in Google by Firefox users. So it is noy a subsidy but a payment for sending traffic.
