Overall, I don't think Mozilla is wrong. Without the Google Search deal, Firefox will have less resources to build a competent browser.

But Mozilla has also done a poor job at becoming financially stable without this search deal. It also doesn't help that Mozilla's CEO's salary keeps going up in spite of the declining market share.

It would have been nice is Mozilla was able to fill a niche like Proton: building a suite of secure and private services. But instead they're moving towards advertising.

FWIW, the Mozilla CEO salary actually went down in the last year we have records. From about $6.9 million to $6.2. (The base salary is still around $600,000, and the rest is a bonus.)

As long as is it millions it's too much.

I agree, but I've seen so many arguments that "you need to pay the CEO millions, otherwise you'll lose a CEO that's definitely worth millions." Not a great argument, but I think it's somewhat laid bare by breaking down their actual salary versus their bonus, which is... Over nine times their salary.
