Question for people who understand how US non-profits work - how normal is it to spend $247,000 on "CEO outsourced services" as an independent contractor?
Just poking around in https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/133444882

  @simon Hmm, it seems on the low side…
  Mozilla’s CEO made $2,458,350 in 2018.
  They’re a non-profit too, right?

  @zoe @simon Ah, my simple little head gets confused easily by such complicated stuff.
  The folks at Mozilla must be so smart to come up with such things.

  2. I tried to quit Firefox. I can't.
    
    from Logan Marchione
    
    TL;DR I’m frustrated by Mozilla, but don’t see many alternative browsers that have such noble goals as Firefox. Introduction I have a confession: I tried really hard to quit Firefox, but I can’t. I’ve been using Firefox since the single-digit release days, and I’ve been publishing my Firefox config for five years now. In a recent experiment, I used Brave Browser exclusively for three months, but ended up moving back to Firefox.
