Given the direction Brendan Eich has pursued at Brave, I'm personally very glad he didn't remain as Mozilla's CEO, regardless of political views.

Edit: Also, I don't think it's particularly reasonable to single out an individual being funded by Mozilla without a very good explanation as to why. Is there something that Leil Zahra has done which makes you think they are inappropriate to be associated with Mozilla? Or are you just upset by their identity as a queer person?

No I just don't think Mozilla should fund political projects at all. I know that if I donate to Mozilla, my money will go to activists and not to the continued development of Firefox.

The reason why I singled out one individual was because it shows that they support specific political agendas (and was the one I found after a quick search to give a sourced example). There is a pattern in the type of activists they support. I welcome you to find someone who would represent the opposite political side, you probably won't because they wouldn't.

I don't care, people can have whatever views or identities they want.

Just based on the linked bio, it seems like this person’s actual work is focused on addressing mass-surveillance, cooperation between governments and social media to restrict free speech, and differences in moderation in different regions. These are certainly political causes, but I think they are the kind of things Mozilla have always supported? I don’t think Mozilla supporting this kind of work is an indication of some massive change in the company.
