Mozilla CEO quits, pushes pivot to data privacy champion… but what about Firefox?::Could it have more to do with browser’s ever-increasing irrelevance?
The CEO didn’t quit, Firefox isn’t going anywhere. This is a garbage opinion piece.

I think it is actually a good move. That’s what brave did, but firefox has the extra advantage of not still being chromium and also not being brave
So they just let anyone write opinion pieces now?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And when I see Mozilla Corp’s CEO Mitchell Baker stepping down, I wonder if it’s really because she’ll be more useful devoting all her time to the foundation than overseeing Firefox’s decline into a web browser afterthought.
Almost ten years after Chrome appeared, in 2017, Mozilla CEO Chris Beard admitted, "Firefox did not keep up with the market and what people really want.
Baker told Fortune she decided to step down as CEO because she wants to draw attention to our increasingly malicious online world “and how humans are engaging with each other and technology.”
In Baker’s subsequent blog post, she announced that Laura Chambers, a Mozilla board member and entrepreneur with experience at Airbnb, PayPal, and eBay, will step in as interim CEO to run operations until a permanent replacement is found.
In Fortune, Chambers was more forthcoming: She’ll “focus on building out new products that address growing privacy concerns while actively looking for a full-time CEO.”
It’s hard to buy that all’s well with Mozilla, given Baker’s poor results at shepherding Firefox forward and the lack of a real replacement CEO.
