Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% staff, drops advocacy division

Of all the stupid money pit projects they could drop and focus on Firefox and Thunderbird.... they drop privacy advocacy. Might as well drop the browser engine and MDN, to ensure Mozilla loses ALL positive impact on the world, yeah?????

Should have dropped the "AI" division instead

This is sad, not just because it's a trend on Mozilla, but because it shows how mozilla has embraced the corporative kind of mindset. The advocacy team was fundamental for net free principles.

Mozilla based browsers keep being the only practical alternative to web browser dominance, but it itself has degrading its status of resisting bad practices against users and the web in general. And emerging alternatives are also technical alternatives only, with no intention of net freedom advocacy, GPL sort of principles to protect the user and so on.

Sad days indeed, :/

It's likely prepping for loss of income from Google

their choices make it harder and harder to actually want to support their project. I haven't seen a good PR release from then in ages.
