Mozilla is like the Democratic Party. This is of course a simile, not a speculation about Mozilla’s internal politics. I assume they’re very much a nonpolitical, let alone nonpartisan, organization. Perhaps for the brief period of time when Brendan Eich was their CEO, they were like the Republican Party. But the gist of it is this: Mozilla is for the open web, and for privacy, but it seems like every move they make is the exact opposite of what it would be if they actually believed in those things. So, Mozilla is like the Democratic Party. It’s the alternative you settle for, because the other choice(s?) is distilled ontological evil.
