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

How many of those 40k employees work on Chrome?

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.

I honestly think it's not about money at all it's about things like Google being the #1 search and advertising company. For a while they advertised Chrome on the search page, which was a position no one else could buy.

Also things like favoring / pushing Chrome in massive web properties like YouTube are basically priceless.

You're not gonna get any disagreement from me here, but I just don't think that it's productive for Mozilla folks to think of themselves as a tiny scrappy challenger. If nothing else, it results in a failure of imagination about what's possible.

(if you asked any experienced framework implementor what they would do if they ran a browser company with $500MM, you'd get far more interesting, diverse and ambitious answers than the spectrum of what Mozillians are willing to dream about)
