Mozilla CEO Chris Beard will leave at the end of the year

The Firefox Developers Foundation has announced that the current CEO, Chris Beard, will leave at the end of the year. The Mozilla, a non-profit organization based on an increasingly complex environment, is committed to privacy protection and works with industry members to promote the development of privacy protection. For example, the anti-tracking strategy launched by Firefox has been approved by Microsoft and Apple. Both Microsoft and Apple will learn to launch a similar protection strategy. These anti-tracking strategies help users to block all kinds of ad trackers, helping users avoid the intrusive depth tracking of various ad networks. Although Firefox can’t compete with Google Chrome in terms of market share, Google is an advertising company, after all, so Firefox will not give up confrontation tracking.

“Today our products, technology and policy efforts are stronger and more resonant in the market than ever, and we have built significant new organizational capabilities and financial strength to fuel our work,” Beard said in the blog post. “From our new privacy-forward product strategy to initiatives like the State of the Internet we’re ready to seize the tremendous opportunity and challenges ahead to ensure we’re doing, even more, to put people in control of their connected lives and shape the future of the internet for the public good.”

For Mozilla, it is not easy for the CEO to leave but it is not easy to choose another successor. In fact, Mozilla has not yet selected a successor. Mitchell Baker, executive chairwoman of Mozilla, said the foundation has begun to launch a plan to find a successor, but it seems difficult at the moment. Therefore, Mozilla also decided that if Chris did not choose a successor at the end of the year, Mitchell would serve as interim CEO of Mozilla. In the next few months, Mozilla will continue to work, develop new engagement models and continue to improve privacy and user agent content.
