Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.
Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.
It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.
Mozilla frankly could use some serious restructuring. If Brave was able to get a decent market share overnight surely a well known company can make a come back.
Mozilla has a management problem
Brave didn't build a browser. They reskinned Chrome.
Brave has a notable market share? I've never seen them in any graph.
Comparing the two is also a difficult territory, because Brave does not develop their own browser engine. If Google stops publishing the Chromium source code, they're gone in a few months.
Hear hear. Trim the fat, and start at the head.

Mozilla is not brave enough for this change.
This is the Mozilla foundation, not the Mozilla corp. The latter has the deal with Google; the former couldn't make that deal even if they wanted to.
