    Google funds probably 95% of Mozilla. Hundreds of millions a year.

      More like 75-85% (PDF of financials), but yeah, it’s massive.

        Their CEO makes like $7 to $10 million. Google pays Mozilla over $400 million/year.

          i was doing an exaggeration with the 95% number. shouldnt they be saving money though?

          that seems like a huge expense for a company on a slow decline, considering none of them ceos were able to come up with a solution for mozilla.

            According to their financials (PDF), they have about $1B in investments generating about $30-40M/year. If Google pulled funding, they would have to make deep cuts, but they could continue existing.
