Comment on Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web
underscores@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months agoMozilla is set up as a non-profit with a for profit company as a subsidiary. The corporate Mozilla handles working on Firefox, mostly using money from Google for setting it as the default search engine. Because of that separation I don’t think they can easily mix those two piles of money together.

IIRC they recently lost that google money in august since they were found guilty of monopolistic practices. that is why they’ve been reducing budget everywhere (except AI….)

Google is still appealing it, so at best that will happen next year. But yeah, they’re probably adjusting their budget in anticipation.
