Eich was a failure. He sat on e10s for years while Chrome continued gaining marketshare. The path to monetization is something he says he wanted to do at Mozilla but did at Brave instead.

At Brave, he started with a Gecko offshoot but couldn’t make it work and retreated to Chromium.

The reason it works is because Mozilla staff isn’t going to offer to call any random person with a “stupid anecdote”.

EDIT: FWIW, your logic is broken: while your imagined yoasif denies the claim, that differs from what Baffalox does in reality - they say “yes, but”. Imagined yoasif just said “no.”

Wouldn’t have been critical of the form of your logic, but I mean – you said my logic was stupid. I’m not sure you understood my logic.

So we should take it seriously.

Thanks for clarifying!

Why did Mozilla staff take it seriously enough to immediately offer to get on a call with the writer of the stupid anecdote?

You can’t tell if this one is baseless or not?

It is going to happen to all locales, not just Japan. The Japan locale leader was just a canary in the coalmine.

Yeah, I am astroturfing. It can’t be that I actually believed Mozilla when they said that localizers were heroic.
