“Approximately 83% and 86% of Mozilla’s revenues from customers with contracts were derived from one customer for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Receivables from that one customer represented 69% and 73% of the December 31, 2021 and 2020 outstanding receivables, respectively.”
In other words: The vast majority (roughly 70%) of all of Mozilla’s yearly revenue comes from default search engine placement of just one customer.
That customer, while not named in the report, is obviously Google (and parent company, Alphabet).
So Mozilla is nearly a subsidiary of Google, and exists primarily to push Alphabet's social agenda ('organizing' and 'activism' account for 4x more expenditures than software development).
From their LinkedIn page, Mckensie Mack Group describes itself thusly: “Black-led and nonbinary-led, MMG is a global social justice organization”.
Action Research Collaborative [...] founder, Neil Lewis Jr., appears to have focused his career on “vaccine acceptance”, problems with “white” people, and his theory that “white people” can not be victims of discrimination.
It is starting to look like Mozilla is a billion dollar anti-trust insurance bond against the possibility of the Feds deciding that Chrome's position is monopolistic (90% plus looks fairly monopolistic as-is...).
With the 70%+ reliance on Google (a competitor) for revenue, why is Mozilla spending money on projects that have no goal of being profitable (and have no relation to their core business)?
What happens when the Google funding goes away? Mozilla appears certain that it never will (based on their spending)…. why is that?
Nah, anti-trust lawsuits only happen to scare companies into giving the government a cut of the profits. There's a reason that Microsoft hasn't had their head cracked open and it's called "lobbying".
I highly recommend reading "Antitrust and Monopoly: Anatomy of a Policy Failure" by Dominick T. Armentano to cure yourself of that brain rot.

Holy shit, I thought you were talking about Guybrush Threepwood's voice actor for a moment (Dominic Armato)
Sounds like a good read though, thanks.
