The chair of Mozilla Foundation, the nonprofit that funds the development of Firefox, last week defended the decision to
pursue in-browser ads, saying that it’s important to generate revenue.
“To explicitly address the question of whether we care about generating revenue and sustaining Mozilla’s work, the answer is yes,” Mitchell Baker, former CEO of Mozilla, the subsidiary responsible for Firefox, and now the chair of the parent foundation, wrote on a
blog Thursday. “In fact, many of us feel responsible to do exactly this.”
