> She is truly an anchor around Mozilla's neck

perhaps it's because this is what google wants mozilla to be - a lame duck that cannot compete against chrome.

This is a really interesting possibility. A crippled competitor is ideal--keeps Chrome ahead, but still have a multi platform competitor to point at when the DoJ comes knocking.

Hey, I guess if Google stopped shoveling money into Mozilla then they wouldn't have any money to pay her and she might leave then. I guess we can blame Google then!

Is there anyway we could blame Google also for the unrest in the middle east?

Also interesting because once upon a time Microsoft did that with Apple.

Does Google have any say on who is at the helm of Mozilla? A genuine question, not a rhetorical one.

You think the money bags come without strings?

No, in the same way MS didn't have say who is at the head of OpenAI.

Good idea. But if it's true, then who played the same trick with Google and Sundar Pichai?
