You're a $500M/year org, not a tiny org. (that doesn't make Axel right either).

Firefox is a browser company. The Chrome division has people doing the equivalent things to the other group of people. In any event, total Google engineers is really not the correct comparison.
-
Correct, but Chrome engineering always outnumbered Gecko's by a comfortable margin.
-
But that's in part because of many engineers (and other headcount) at Mozilla working on non-Gecko, non-Firefox stuff for one reason or another. Not because of lack of resources.
-
True, our mission is bigger than just Gecko and Firefox. See MDN and Rust for examples of non-Gecko wins for the public good.

Even those not working on Chrome seem determined to build a moat for Chrome by not interoperating with other browsers. See Google search results on Firefox for Android or Google Hangouts on desktop. Google's non-Chrome employees are cementing Chrome's dominance. Can't discount.

I just think treating a company with $500MM of revenue that mostly makes a web browser as a scrappy upstart is pretty misleading, both internally and externally. It's not like you can't be proud of working at a huge company, but the dissonance makes pride harder.

Google counts its revenues in the tens of billions of dollars per quarter. We're not even in the same league and Google isn't our only competitor, there's also the other richest companies in the world Microsoft and Apple.

$500MM for Mozilla is, from my perspective, in the same league as a company making tens of billions with a much more diverse portfolio. $500MM is a ton of money, not "scrappy" in any sense.

"Troll the Titans" is a ridiculous slogan for a company with $500MM a year in annual revenue.
-
It's also definitely enough. There is no question.
