Mozilla's CEO is paid $7m for running the "charity".

So? If that’s what she’s worth then you either hire her, or put up with second best. You may think CEOs are paid too much overall - I’m not disagreeing, but let’s not pretend people who work for charities should all take charity salaries. If you want to build a world class product, hire world class people - they’re not cheap.

I cannot fathom the indignation.

In a world set against you, even doing the right thing might not lead to success.

They are deeply dependent on Google; they’ve been trying to find revenue without Google. They’ve largely failed, but that doesn’t mean the strategy is wrong.

She's CEO of Mozilla foundation (charity) but also Mozilla corporation (normal business).
