>Firefox is owned by the Mozilla Corporation.
>The so-called Mozilla Foundation is the parent but Firefox is part of a taxable for-profit entity.
>Further, Mitchell Baker seems to be the CEO of, guess which one, BOTH. Unbelievable.
>>In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.[14]On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."[15]
>>By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic.[16]

Is TOR the only safe browser these days? Or is that backended too?

>TOR
Tor Browser is based on firefox. It's not a fork, just firefox with minor modifications, so, if it isn't backdoored already, it will eventually be. Use links or w3m. links2 if you absolutely need a graphical browser (you don't)

Tl;dr engineers, people working on privacy features, browser security and the like. Relocated workers primarily moved to so-called "Products and Operations team", according to Ars Technica.

I'm cushty on IceCat 78.11 right now, but I really don't know what I'll do once EOL hits in October. The new UI is ugly, unintuitive, and leans further into the trend of removing customization for no reason as well as favoring form over function.
