I keep seeing comments on HN that misunderstand what's happening with Mozilla and it's kind of frustrating.

Right now, if you were to take away Google's money, Firefox would not be able to compete with Chromium and Safari.

Those 'harebrained' initiatives are attempts to find a source of revenue aside from Google and are necessary to Firefox's survival. So saying

> stop wasting money on all those harebrained non browser initiatives and concentrate on ... the Firefox browser

completely misses the point.

Unless we want Firefox to die, we should understand their situation and encourage this exploratory process, not hate on it.
