It absolutely matters. We need to consider that a right-wing actor is likely to exaggerate claims against an organization that is ostensibly socially-minded and represents anti-corporate interests, like Mozilla.

Organization represents anti-corporate interests.

CEO gets paid almost all donations despite poor performance.

Seems pretty corporate interests to me.

I’m not denying that Mozilla has a history of poor governance. But they are the competitor to Google here. You need to consider these things in context to understand what anti-corporate means for the internet.

The only reason they're a competitor to Google is because Google allows them to be by giving them money for the default search engine.

They're just sailing their boat until it sinks.
