In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams?

Seems to me, they've been very daring and motivated at expanding the executive compensation of a single board member, chair Mitchell Baker, who earns 3x the rest of the executive leadership combined.

I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/

I guess there's also Firefox Relay, for those who might benefit from something like that: https://relay.firefox.com/

Not many other products to give them money for come to mind, though.

Pocket. Mozilla VPN. Is MDN Plus meaningful? Probably the Mr. Robot ad would have led to paid ads without the backlash.
