This is fantastic. That said, Mozilla should really reconsider their own CEO too.

Are you referring to the foundation president Mark Surman or the corporation CEO Laura Chambers? She seems to be an interim position holder, so I guess whatcha referring to?

Laura. Her past affiliations are concerning. I'm aware she's seated on an interim position, but I can't imagine that there weren't any better candidates.

What exactly did she do that is concerning?
