This is fair but not sufficient to declare "the last thing they want is good data protection laws".

This is also fair but has nothing to do with the data protection laws.

It seems they can't continue doing this, given the ongoing legal actions against Google. So let's see.

Ok, so we can agree that my assesment is fair, but it remains to be seen how the data protection story pans out.

Just to be clear: I think that Mozilla should have taken that money (and possibly more) and *invest* in Firefox and build a rainy day fund (which are coming soon). Instead, they spent it on whatevers and done a layoff.

My point is that your assessment is largely irrelevant to your original message about the data protection. It doesn't really support it.


Right. Time will tell.
