Mozilla CEO Salary Increases Till Morale Improves

Mozilla Corporation may be having its last year or last few years. Its current CEO, a successor of Baker, isn't even permanent, just some transient (interim) person like a ghost or a placeholder. What's the strategy? Buzzwords, a passing fad. Is Firefox rebounding in US? Maybe, but globally it is not. Every indicator shows Firefox losing share over time and there's no real strategy for stopping that loss, barely even a strategy for slowing that down.
As an associate put it, Baker's work is done. Firefox is at or below 2% and now the US government's test suite can ignore it from now on.
Google stands to gain from this because sooner or later it won't have to pay Mozilla anything, albeit its status as a monopoly (with monoculture) can result in heavy fines..
The era of the open Web is ending. The video discusses what this may mean to Web users, i.e. to almost everybody on this planet (who uses a computer). █
