UC is not moving the web forward. They're an old fork with no standards advancement and they're actually holding the web back. They're actively bad for the web platform by amassing users on old tech.

And yet, they have market share and an implementation. If you're committed to saying that Mozilla is spending its money well and there's not much waste in that budget, feel free, but I don't have much else to add here.

They have a years old fork that's hurting the web. I don't consider them the way I consider all the other bigs that are at least trying for web standards and moving the platform forward. Reminds me of when MS thought the web was done and abandoned it at IE6 holding everyone back.

Why don't you take a look for yourself https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2016/2016_Mozilla_Audited_Financial_Statement.pdf … and tell me. Looks like we spent around half of that on "software development".

An audit is not the right document for identifying cost savings. I'd be happy to look at Mozilla's private books and identify prospective savings, though.

How about at the really high level? Should we have fewer developers (work different? work harder?) a smaller marketing budget (count on word of mouth?) or fewer office things (cheaper chairs?).

I don't really understand the obsession with Mixed Reality, which is another area where the major players have a massive heads up. I respect the people working on it a lot but am perplexed by the prioritization.

I think Mozilla should have been ahead of the game with "mobile" and I'm glad we're investing early in what might (or very well may not) be the next big thing. The platform side investment in things like the WebVR API seem reasonable to me.

It's already established that you find $500MM reasonable. Here's a question: why invest in the next big thing while still so far behind on the last thing? Why so little investment in a solid mobile story?

I probably should have been clearer about this earlier: I don't think platform engineers or UX designers broadly are a waste of money or doing a bad job. Quite the opposite. But unless I'm doing the math wrong, those costs don't come close to adding up.
