Wikimedia has a similar head count as far as I know, and the CEO is paid significantly less, which is what we were talking about. Mozilla is in a really bad position right now, so that's why people bring this up.

I don't know what she does day to day, but Firefox usage is going down the toilet and the rest of Mozilla seems mismanaged. Maybe decreasing her salary and hiring some more engineers might help. Right now Google seems to be keeping Mozilla alive to prove that they supposedly aren't a monopoly. Now she did join after the user trend was already plummeting, but idk $3+ mil is a lot of money to not turn the ship around.

It would just be nice to have an actual chromium competitor.

Plans are to activate it by U qpr2.

This isn't true. The bootloader and boot process will be the same. This link is about the bundled Chrome (which is also what houses the entire UI/UX for the OS) becoming deprecated as the main browser for the standard Linux flavor one running through the wayland bridge of Crostini.

Firefox Beta as well.
