…Do they?

I feel like we are very close to a cyberpunk future where Alphabet doesn’t have to pretend.

And I feel that’s quite dismissive. Mozilla doesn’t have enough development resources as-is, hence the whole original article. And abandoning Servo. And a bunch of other things. If money was a non-concern, they wouldn’t be here.

    The problem is a bit circular. Mozilla is flippant with money because they get it from Google and they act like it will be eternal. Assuming an absolute worst case scenario: just based on 2024 finances, Mozilla has enough money to keep running for about three years with no funding if expenses remain stable (123/41=3).

    It's worth noting that Servo and competing engine Ladybird are still in development, and they do not get Mozilla money...
