@droidboy Oh so many reasons why:

- Purport to protect privacy while existing due to half a billion dollars a year from Google. (And not having their browser be private by default.)

- Jump on every fucking Silicon Valley bandwagon/grift from cryptocurrency to Metaverse to AI (to their credit, they skipped NFTs afaik)

- For being a not for profit that owns a for profit and paying their CEO $7M while having the audacity to hit people up for donations.

Or, as their then head of public policy once told me at a conference we were both speaking at while asking me to go easy on them: “I don’t understand why you’re holding us to such a higher standard; we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

It’s true. But that’s not what you tell people, is it, Mozilla?

(And there’s no such as “trustworthy AI” — at least insofar as LLMs are concerned. These are statistically plausible bullshit generators.)
