Okay, your reply is kind of ironic because, in your defense of Mozilla, you've opened up new ways you find Mozilla to be bad. For example, "“Mozilla are going in the wrong direction , They’re selling out, they using AI, they’re hiring ad experts”

Either you believe Mozilla venturing into AI and ads are bad, or it's good... but exposing it hurts Mozilla. Which?

Now someone dug up this old story about teixeira Suing them

Mozilla fired Teixeira a couple days ago. That's not old.

both AI and advertising were championed by…. Texeira

I know you're trying to get in a gotcha here, but according to Mozilla's own testimony:

"[Teixeira] failed to adequately address the considerable concerns and feedback the Board and CEO raised regarding product strategy, including actively resisting requests that he engage in generative Artificial Intelligence (“GenAI”)"
