But let’s end on a positive note: Mozilla is still making money – good money (although roughly what Google makes in half a day). It has increased the value of its assets, and maintains a workforce full of enthusiastic, passionate, and intensely talented people.And a lot of good will remains for Mozilla as it’s pretty much a lone voice shouting over tech giants’ manipulative algorithms intertwined with predatory ad practices, to remind us all that a web made by people, for people, is worth fighting for.
Software development, branding, and administration costs all factored in heavily.

Google pays Mozilla to make Google Search the default search
Pale Moon originated as a fork of Firefox, but has subsequently diverged.
