WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:11.800
Hello everyone, I'm here to tell you all the truth about Maria.

00:11.800 --> 00:17.200
So why, first of all, why can I talk about Maria today?

00:17.200 --> 00:21.600
So I've been at Maria for 11 years and 10 days, 11 days, maybe today.

00:21.600 --> 00:23.600
So I have been through a many different things.

00:23.600 --> 00:26.800
I started as what we call a nicey, so in the individual contributor.

00:26.800 --> 00:32.600
Now I'm managing an organization about 50 people, some of the managers who I work with are in the room.

00:32.600 --> 00:37.800
And I'm a nerd and a geek at least, and I'm writing patches in Firefox.

00:37.800 --> 00:40.200
So I know how to develop in Firefox.

00:40.200 --> 00:47.000
I'm not putting myself in the way of actual good developers, but I'm still writing patches from time to time.

00:47.000 --> 00:54.000
I'm also a spokesperson for the company, so that means that they can do a live interview on TV radio, mostly in French.

00:54.400 --> 00:57.400
You can get from my accent that I'm from France.

00:57.400 --> 01:03.400
So all the questions that you might ask me, I already had them from the list in the past.

01:03.400 --> 01:08.800
I'm also a long time marker, so I know open source pretty well, so I've been contributing to debut on for like 20 years.

01:08.800 --> 01:12.800
I'm also contributing to LVM and Clang, and some rest project.

01:12.800 --> 01:16.400
If you were there yesterday, I made a talking for them.

01:16.400 --> 01:18.400
So why is this talk?

01:18.400 --> 01:21.400
So when I left my previous company, I was looking for a new job.

01:21.400 --> 01:24.200
I was like, I want to do open source full-time.

01:24.200 --> 01:27.600
And I looked at the number of companies who are offering use of kind of option.

01:27.600 --> 01:30.400
And the modzi is amongst the only few on the planet we are.

01:30.400 --> 01:36.000
The Galia, Colabora, Canonical, some teams in Google, Apple, and Facebook if you're lucky.

01:36.000 --> 01:39.800
But modzi is really, really unique in that space.

01:39.800 --> 01:44.200
And I loved falling, and I loved reading at ICONUs and read it.

01:44.200 --> 01:48.600
And on some various websites, so if you're French and you like falling, you know, LinuxFR.

01:48.800 --> 01:55.200
And you can read all the weird things that people are writing about us as a company and as a project and so on.

01:55.200 --> 01:59.200
So I always love spending time with things or things.

01:59.200 --> 02:03.600
So first, who sings in the room, you understand modia?

02:03.600 --> 02:04.600
All right, it's the only few ends.

02:04.600 --> 02:09.400
I see end for Mimploye, and I'm not even sure that didn't know everything about the company.

02:09.400 --> 02:11.200
All the structure.

02:11.200 --> 02:14.000
But first, I'm going to ask you a question.

02:14.000 --> 02:17.800
So what do you think modia is for open source?

02:18.000 --> 02:19.600
Hey, so a few ends in the room.

02:19.600 --> 02:21.400
We are not doing free software at Media.

02:21.400 --> 02:23.600
We are really on the point source company.

02:23.600 --> 02:29.600
Even if most of our code, the vast majority of our code is on the OSI approved license.

02:29.600 --> 02:34.400
In the room, we have one of the author of the MPL, the modia public license.

02:34.400 --> 02:37.400
It is what we use for Firefox and most of our code.

02:37.400 --> 02:39.800
But we are a very pragmatic company.

02:39.800 --> 02:43.000
So for example, we use Slack, we use Google Docs.

02:43.000 --> 02:47.400
But we are still contributing to a lot of tools and leveraging a lot of tools which

02:47.400 --> 02:49.600
are open source like elements and discourse.

02:49.600 --> 02:52.400
And we are paying those companies.

02:52.400 --> 02:56.400
So we are also funding a lot of researchers who are publishing

02:56.400 --> 02:59.800
the resultizer in science or in code.

02:59.800 --> 03:01.200
We do that for security.

03:01.200 --> 03:05.400
We do that for research in LLM.

03:05.400 --> 03:08.200
One of my colleagues is doing going to do a talk right after.

03:08.200 --> 03:13.400
But the subject, we have the Bonti program, when I was researching for

03:13.400 --> 03:17.400
the slide, I realized that Media is the one on Net's Cave back in the day.

03:17.400 --> 03:22.400
The one who invented the Bonti program and we are still continuing 20 or 25 years after

03:22.400 --> 03:24.400
one of the managers that program is in the room.

03:24.400 --> 03:26.400
Also, if you have questions about it.

03:26.400 --> 03:32.400
And we also develop a lot of projects that are used for Firefox.

03:32.400 --> 03:37.400
And we just announced recently a program called Orcar Ready to fund previous

03:37.400 --> 03:38.400
session.

03:38.400 --> 03:41.400
So when you look at the survey and type fund or some sponsoring,

03:41.400 --> 03:43.400
they give you money to do a project.

03:43.400 --> 03:45.400
And with that initiative, they are already project.

03:45.400 --> 03:48.400
We give money to people who continue to be for.

03:48.400 --> 03:50.400
So for example, we speak of the GIS.

03:50.400 --> 03:56.400
We gave a few thousand euros to volunteer who have been contributing to that project for years.

03:56.400 --> 04:00.400
So what I also love about reading a read it and I can use.

04:00.400 --> 04:02.400
I did a quick search, Modia should.

04:02.400 --> 04:05.400
And you see a lot of opinion everywhere.

04:05.400 --> 04:06.400
So the slide.

04:06.400 --> 04:07.400
The slide.

04:07.400 --> 04:08.400
It doesn't.

04:08.400 --> 04:09.400
It should have something here.

04:09.400 --> 04:11.400
Anyway, you see a lot of people.

04:11.400 --> 04:12.400
Everybody has an opinion about Bonti.

04:12.400 --> 04:13.400
Yeah, what you should do.

04:13.400 --> 04:16.400
And it's quite funny to read all of their opinion.

04:16.400 --> 04:18.400
Sometimes it's like funny.

04:18.400 --> 04:22.400
So everything that it isn't black is either a world that starts by FU and ends by

04:22.400 --> 04:23.400
CK.

04:23.400 --> 04:28.400
Or this one starts with us talking about one part of my body.

04:28.400 --> 04:30.400
So it's an image that I received a few years ago.

04:30.400 --> 04:34.400
It's not very uncommon to receive insult on your personal email.

04:34.400 --> 04:35.400
So you have my personal email.

04:35.400 --> 04:38.400
So if you don't like that talk, you can send me similar insult.

04:38.400 --> 04:39.400
I don't mind.

04:39.400 --> 04:41.400
But it's surprising.

04:41.400 --> 04:42.400
And I'm not the only one.

04:42.400 --> 04:45.400
I'm sure that plenty of my colleagues and contributors.

04:45.400 --> 04:48.400
We see those kind of crazy melons of past.

04:48.400 --> 04:52.400
In that case, it's because we were pushing to many updates of fireworks at some point.

04:52.400 --> 04:55.400
And someone was not happy.

04:55.400 --> 04:56.400
We have also a good community.

04:56.400 --> 04:58.400
So we are plenty of tools.

04:58.400 --> 05:00.400
If you want to be involved in the Modia project.

05:00.400 --> 05:01.400
So we have this course.

05:01.400 --> 05:02.400
We have connect.

05:02.400 --> 05:05.400
So we are working with them to make it better.

05:05.400 --> 05:06.400
And bugs here.

05:06.400 --> 05:10.400
So if you have any issues with one of our product or if you have ideas of improvement,

05:10.400 --> 05:13.400
you can either send them on bugs here or connect.

05:13.400 --> 05:17.400
So who understand how Media operates in the room?

05:17.400 --> 05:18.400
A few people.

05:18.400 --> 05:20.400
One more time, my colleague.

05:20.400 --> 05:24.400
So Media, the beginning was the cod name of Netscape.

05:24.400 --> 05:28.400
When the decided that Netscape was doing to die.

05:28.400 --> 05:31.400
If my colleague continued to ship internet explorers,

05:31.400 --> 05:33.400
they decided to abandon source the cod.

05:33.400 --> 05:38.400
And here is where we are 25 years after.

05:38.400 --> 05:42.400
So we have a nonprofit, which is called Media Foundation.

05:42.400 --> 05:44.400
And we have a few subsidiaries.

05:44.400 --> 05:50.400
So Media Corporation, my employer, who is doing most of the development of the product currently.

05:50.400 --> 05:54.400
And we have also the people in Thunderbird who created a different structure,

05:54.400 --> 05:59.400
basically, and Media AI and Media venture.

05:59.400 --> 06:01.400
And we are driven by a mission.

06:01.400 --> 06:04.400
So everything that we do, we try to follow those 10 principles.

06:04.400 --> 06:07.400
I have two, five or eight, out of two first.

06:07.400 --> 06:09.400
And it is one of the reasons why I am staying at Media.

06:09.400 --> 06:12.400
And what I am fascinated by is that we have a mission statement.

06:12.400 --> 06:14.400
And we are trying to respect it.

06:14.400 --> 06:19.400
So that the internet is a global public resource that must be made open and accessible.

06:19.400 --> 06:21.400
And we can see that it is never easy.

06:21.400 --> 06:28.400
And some political changes in some countries are making that work other and even more relevant.

06:28.400 --> 06:31.400
So do you know how we make money?

06:31.400 --> 06:32.400
Yeah.

06:32.400 --> 06:35.400
A few people understand how we make money atmosphere.

06:35.400 --> 06:38.400
It is one of the most common questions that we have.

06:38.400 --> 06:43.400
I am sure that people who are the Media boost today are that question like 20 times already each.

06:43.400 --> 06:46.400
So when you search in Firefox and you use one of the search engines,

06:46.400 --> 06:52.400
quote, Ecosia, Google and so on, we get some share of that money that they are making.

06:52.400 --> 06:57.400
And we are also starting to introduce some ads also inside our product,

06:57.400 --> 07:01.400
because that's sponsored tile and we are also ads on MDN.

07:01.400 --> 07:05.400
Nobody likes ad, but it is a way to farm most of the website.

07:05.400 --> 07:07.400
And we are no different.

07:07.400 --> 07:09.400
It is one of the best way to farm the web.

07:09.400 --> 07:13.400
It is a way that we almost every website now is making money.

07:13.400 --> 07:20.400
But we are also doing some subscription models like VPN, really, and forget for the much farmers.

07:20.400 --> 07:26.400
However, the folks from Thunderbird are decided to go with a different kind of funding.

07:26.400 --> 07:29.400
So they are relying on the nation.

07:29.400 --> 07:32.400
They are thinking about what's next, but it works well for them.

07:32.400 --> 07:38.400
They have been able to hire a lot of people to work on Thunderbird 6 to that.

07:38.400 --> 07:39.400
So what about Firefox?

07:39.400 --> 07:46.400
So I'm biased. I've been working on Firefox for like 11 years, so I'm going to talk about what I know best.

07:46.400 --> 07:49.400
So as you can see someone with Firefox, what do we do?

07:49.400 --> 07:51.400
I disagree with that statement.

07:51.400 --> 07:56.400
We are almost all the time as fast as Chrome on desktop,

07:56.400 --> 07:58.400
when we look at the speedometer benchmark.

07:58.400 --> 08:01.400
We are doing amazing work in time of web compact.

08:01.400 --> 08:04.400
It's 99% the same as Chrome.

08:04.400 --> 08:08.400
If you look at the dashboard, it's a dashboard that we collaborate with.

08:08.400 --> 08:10.400
Our competitor to make it better.

08:10.400 --> 08:15.400
We have a lot of functional privacy protection to protect our users.

08:15.400 --> 08:19.400
And one of the key features that we have on Android is that we have web extension.

08:19.400 --> 08:22.400
Everybody understand what it means, web extension on the phone.

08:22.400 --> 08:26.400
If you have been using the phone, you see this full of apps on website.

08:26.400 --> 08:31.400
And the web extension on Firefox for Android is amazing.

08:32.400 --> 08:36.400
We have a lot of contributor and a lot of commits.

08:36.400 --> 08:38.400
I'm not going to go into the details.

08:38.400 --> 08:40.400
We did some kind of presentation.

08:40.400 --> 08:42.400
She also go if you want the details.

08:42.400 --> 08:44.400
So you also that meme.

08:44.400 --> 08:52.400
Firefox is one of the most complex piece of software that we create on the planet.

08:52.400 --> 08:58.400
I said earlier that I'm contributing to Linux distribution and compiler and rest.

08:58.400 --> 09:01.400
And those three things are easy compared to a browser in my opinion.

09:01.400 --> 09:06.400
If you think about it, a web browser is like an operating system where you do everything.

09:06.400 --> 09:11.400
So you have also to remember that we run untrusted code every day.

09:11.400 --> 09:16.400
And we keep the user safe so we run JavaScript, HTML, CSS, web assembly.

09:16.400 --> 09:19.400
And you have to do that very fast, very quick.

09:19.400 --> 09:26.400
And without any security issue, I need to be able to manage the crappy website that people have been writing for 20 years.

09:27.400 --> 09:31.400
We are also the only major engine left.

09:31.400 --> 09:34.400
I'm saying major because we know I'm aware of server and ladybird.

09:34.400 --> 09:39.400
But I'm waiting for them to have a lot of users that they can turn in that game with Firefox.

09:39.400 --> 09:41.400
We have a lot of million of users.

09:41.400 --> 09:49.400
And when you think about it, our competitors, they are part of the 10 of the S&P 500 in the US.

09:49.400 --> 09:54.400
We have also some things that we don't communicate a lot.

09:54.400 --> 09:57.400
But we have a huge impact on the web standard.

09:57.400 --> 10:01.400
So we work a lot with our competitor to improve the state of the web.

10:01.400 --> 10:07.400
And one of the things that we cannot communicate on is when we block some initiative from our competitors,

10:07.400 --> 10:12.400
because it can be used for finger printing or the kind of things.

10:12.400 --> 10:17.400
Firefox. Everybody is saying that Firefox is dying, but it's not true.

10:17.400 --> 10:22.400
We have been growing on Linux desktop on Android and iOS, we get more and more users every day.

10:22.400 --> 10:24.400
I love watching especially.

10:24.400 --> 10:26.400
We understood that I'm a gig and Linux users.

10:26.400 --> 10:29.400
Every time I look at the Linux dashboard and it's going up.

10:29.400 --> 10:30.400
So I like it.

10:30.400 --> 10:35.400
And we have a very different perception and usage depending on the country.

10:35.400 --> 10:39.400
So in France and Germany in particular, everybody knows about the Firefox logo.

10:39.400 --> 10:41.400
And we still have a lot of users.

10:41.400 --> 10:44.400
Ten of millions of users to countries.

10:44.400 --> 10:50.400
And one of the things that you have to keep in mind is that you don't control the word map when you are a web browser.

10:50.400 --> 10:57.400
You have almost 100 people that are just going to be there to implement what is happening in the standard body.

10:57.400 --> 10:59.400
So it's a network.

10:59.400 --> 11:01.400
And then you have all the ecosystem that it is moving.

11:01.400 --> 11:03.400
So new version of Windows, Mac, Linux.

11:03.400 --> 11:08.400
You have the changes in libraries or GTK2 to GTK3 and then GTK4.

11:08.400 --> 11:10.400
You have the hardware which is evolving.

11:10.400 --> 11:13.400
So when you have a company with an app or a logo,

11:13.400 --> 11:17.400
shipping moving from Intel to ARM, you have to follow that.

11:17.400 --> 11:20.400
And then you have all the attacker who are trying to liken to your software.

11:20.400 --> 11:23.400
And so you have to adjust and you have to put some more security.

11:23.400 --> 11:27.400
So it's super expensive and complex to maintain a browser.

11:27.400 --> 11:29.400
But we took bunch of Firefox.

11:29.400 --> 11:34.400
Keep in mind that we did a lot of things in the web and we contributed a lot.

11:34.400 --> 11:36.400
So let's increase by the assembly.

11:36.400 --> 11:37.400
You have the list.

11:37.400 --> 11:38.400
I will share this later.

11:38.400 --> 11:41.400
But we have been contributing a lot to the ecosystem.

11:41.400 --> 11:45.400
Yesterday I did some product placement for the fire first profile.

11:45.400 --> 11:49.400
And simply, which are also coming from Maria, which are amazing tools.

11:49.400 --> 11:53.400
We are also doing a translation with AI very differently.

11:53.400 --> 11:57.400
So when you do translation in Firefox, we are not sending the content of the pages

11:57.400 --> 11:59.400
to the web site to another website.

11:59.400 --> 12:00.400
We are doing it locally.

12:00.400 --> 12:05.400
We do not know the model and we do everything locally to preserve your privacy.

12:05.400 --> 12:06.400
And that's but the list.

12:06.400 --> 12:09.400
If you stay in that room, you are going to hear about where the extension

12:09.400 --> 12:12.400
and elements are brought by type.

12:13.400 --> 12:16.400
For the matter of time, to keep time for question, I will move quickly.

12:16.400 --> 12:18.400
So telemetry.

12:18.400 --> 12:22.400
A lot of people complain about telemetry in the open source world.

12:22.400 --> 12:25.400
But it's a big deal and it's key for us to do a great work.

12:25.400 --> 12:28.400
If we don't have telemetry, we don't know what to use.

12:28.400 --> 12:31.400
And therefore we don't know what we should work on.

12:31.400 --> 12:33.400
So if we notice that the feature is very well used.

12:33.400 --> 12:35.400
We are going to invest more.

12:35.400 --> 12:38.400
If nobody uses a feature, what's a point, maybe we should remove it.

12:38.400 --> 12:41.400
And without telemetry, you are flying blind basically.

12:42.400 --> 12:46.400
And the opportunity, we have a lot of passionate users.

12:46.400 --> 12:51.400
It took me only five seconds to find those articles or those comments.

12:51.400 --> 12:55.400
We have a lot of passionate users who have been supporting us for a long time.

12:55.400 --> 13:00.400
And we realize there are other work that it is to develop a browser.

13:00.400 --> 13:04.400
We do also a lot of other cool stuff at Medziah.

13:04.400 --> 13:05.400
So send a bird.

13:05.400 --> 13:08.400
I have been a send a bird user since that's case.

13:08.400 --> 13:09.400
Basically, so I love it.

13:10.400 --> 13:13.400
At the end, it's probably the best platform if you do web development.

13:13.400 --> 13:17.400
We do a lot of other projects like VPN, monitor plus and relay.

13:17.400 --> 13:21.400
We are pushing into responsible advertising, which is quite hard to do.

13:21.400 --> 13:23.400
And we have a lot of AI project.

13:23.400 --> 13:25.400
I'm a huge supporter of AI.

13:25.400 --> 13:31.400
I think it's making us much faster and much better and simplifying our lives.

13:31.400 --> 13:34.400
I know that this opinion is not always shared.

13:34.400 --> 13:36.400
And you will have some of my colleagues.

13:36.400 --> 13:37.400
They're new.

13:37.400 --> 13:40.400
It's a great work that we have been doing in the space.

13:40.400 --> 13:41.400
And times up.

13:41.400 --> 13:42.400
Perfect.

13:50.400 --> 13:52.400
Unfortunately, time is not completely up.

13:52.400 --> 13:53.400
We have five minutes for questions.

13:53.400 --> 13:57.400
So if you want to ask whatever questions you have in your head,

13:57.400 --> 13:58.400
just raise your hand.

13:58.400 --> 13:59.400
I'll give you the mic.

13:59.400 --> 14:02.400
Again, I'm going to repeat things for people that were

14:03.400 --> 14:04.400
late in the room.

14:04.400 --> 14:06.400
Exit is downstairs.

14:06.400 --> 14:08.400
And we have stickers and everything out there.

14:08.400 --> 14:10.400
I'll bring the mic.

14:22.400 --> 14:23.400
Okay.

14:23.400 --> 14:24.400
Hi.

14:24.400 --> 14:25.400
Thank you for coming.

14:25.400 --> 14:26.400
Thank you for the nice presentation.

14:26.400 --> 14:29.400
I just have one question about one of your products.

14:29.400 --> 14:34.400
I've heard that Mozilla is exploring services as a source of income.

14:34.400 --> 14:36.400
Can you speak louder?

14:36.400 --> 14:38.400
Oh, okay.

14:38.400 --> 14:44.400
I saw that Mozilla is exploring services as a ways of income.

14:44.400 --> 14:46.400
And I saw VPN, right?

14:46.400 --> 14:50.400
So it's like a competitor to serve shark and these kinds of VPNs.

14:50.400 --> 14:56.400
It's a VPN client like most of the ones that you will find on the market.

14:56.400 --> 14:57.400
It's fully open.

14:57.400 --> 14:59.400
So you can access to the source code of the client.

14:59.400 --> 15:01.400
But does it have a subscription?

15:01.400 --> 15:02.400
Yeah, you have a subscription.

15:02.400 --> 15:03.400
Yeah.

15:03.400 --> 15:04.400
Oh, okay.

15:04.400 --> 15:05.400
Nice.

15:05.400 --> 15:06.400
Thanks.

15:08.400 --> 15:10.400
More questions?

15:15.400 --> 15:21.400
You briefly mentioned it, but how is Mozilla doing really?

15:21.400 --> 15:24.400
Is it dying?

15:25.400 --> 15:26.400
Yeah.

15:26.400 --> 15:34.400
You mentioned it, but I've been worried about Mozilla and for your folks for four years now.

15:34.400 --> 15:36.400
You're still around, apparently.

15:36.400 --> 15:37.400
But yeah.

15:37.400 --> 15:39.400
It's a fact question.

15:39.400 --> 15:44.400
To be honest, I have been getting that question for 11 years since I joined.

15:44.400 --> 15:45.400
Yeah, we are doing well.

15:45.400 --> 15:48.400
We are one of the things is that you can look at our finance.

15:48.400 --> 15:49.400
We are very transparent.

15:49.400 --> 15:53.400
So you can see all the details about how we spend our money and so on.

15:53.400 --> 15:55.400
We are growing on some platform.

15:55.400 --> 16:02.400
It's harder to compete on Windows and Mac because, you know, our competitors, they

16:02.400 --> 16:06.400
control the full stack and they have a slight tendency to promote their product instead of

16:06.400 --> 16:07.400
the competitors.

16:07.400 --> 16:10.400
But I know we are doing well.

16:10.400 --> 16:14.400
The reason please are to change on Fenderbird funding.

16:14.400 --> 16:16.400
Why not operating something similar?

16:16.400 --> 16:17.400
Can you speak louder?

16:17.400 --> 16:19.400
I'm starting to be also.

16:19.400 --> 16:23.400
There is a new way to fund Fenderbird.

16:23.400 --> 16:26.400
Why not embracing the same thing for Mozilla?

16:26.400 --> 16:32.400
If we want to unite, for example, the money will be aggregated and then reshared.

16:32.400 --> 16:36.400
And we cannot decide what our money is going to fund.

16:36.400 --> 16:40.400
Why can't we decide it's like Fenderbird?

16:40.400 --> 16:45.400
So if I understood correctly your question, you are thinking if I are focusing on the donation base.

16:45.400 --> 16:46.400
Right?

16:46.400 --> 16:49.400
Well, I think it's great like Fenderbird is doing.

16:49.400 --> 16:51.400
Why not doing the same?

16:51.400 --> 16:56.400
Because when I saw what the money is going to be spent off, it's going to be spent

16:56.400 --> 17:00.400
for all the advertising or other products such as AI and stuff.

17:00.400 --> 17:06.400
Why can't I decide to contribute to the browser itself and just for this?

17:06.400 --> 17:09.400
So we are not in donation.

17:09.400 --> 17:13.400
We don't get an as money and we have a unique business model with a self-like.

17:13.400 --> 17:19.400
If you look at first them who is attending, there is no such company that is making that money with free

17:19.400 --> 17:21.400
and open source software.

17:21.400 --> 17:26.400
So we decide to spend our money on marketing because we think it makes sense for the product to be known.

17:26.400 --> 17:28.400
And we see the value.

17:28.400 --> 17:33.400
So when we spend money on marketing, I know that for us as a geek, as a geek community, it's not, it's feels weird.

17:33.400 --> 17:37.400
But we really see an update when we spend some money in some places for a campaign.

17:37.400 --> 17:42.400
So marketing for the kind of software when you have a lot of competition is really necessary.

17:42.400 --> 17:45.400
And then you can be involved in the community.

17:45.400 --> 17:50.400
There are things that are going to be hard to influence on, but you can be involved when you can have your word to say

17:50.400 --> 17:54.400
if you want to ship some feature in Firefox or if you want to be involved.

17:54.400 --> 17:57.400
Did I answer to the question? You don't feel convinced.

17:57.400 --> 18:01.400
We can discuss after a while that it's a long subject.

18:01.400 --> 18:02.400
Hello.

18:02.400 --> 18:03.400
Can you hear me?

18:03.400 --> 18:04.400
Yeah.

18:06.400 --> 18:09.400
I've been using Firefox for years already.

18:09.400 --> 18:15.400
I like Firefox. One browser allows me to not see a single ad, which for me's great.

18:15.400 --> 18:19.400
And I don't want to get conspiratorial, but I've read this online.

18:19.400 --> 18:23.400
And I'm just curious of how it affects the foundation, right?

18:23.400 --> 18:26.400
Because you guys receive a lot of donations that you imagine there.

18:26.400 --> 18:32.400
And there's like, you know, poster on that say, like, most of the funding for most of your consumer companies like Google,

18:32.400 --> 18:35.400
or the 90% of the funding concern Google.

18:35.400 --> 18:43.400
So I'm wondering, like, what is the actual real number and be, like, does it create a conflict of interest in the development of most of your browser?

18:43.400 --> 18:46.400
It's a good question. It's a question that I get for a new regional list.

18:46.400 --> 18:50.400
It's a bit less than 90. I think it's closer to 80.

18:50.400 --> 18:55.400
As far as I know, I'm not part of the negotiating team between Google and Modia,

18:55.400 --> 19:03.400
but in the technical discussion and the roadmap, I've never seen any influence from our partners like Google or Quentin.

19:03.400 --> 19:10.400
So, and I think also the collaboration I like to highlight is that our competition with our competitors is usually very healthy.

19:10.400 --> 19:15.400
We work together. We have mainly these with our competitors. We're sometimes we answer,

19:15.400 --> 19:19.400
we feel some very, we sense them some security issues.

19:19.400 --> 19:23.400
We, we simply told Microsoft that they are the zero day in the occurred base.

19:23.400 --> 19:26.400
So we collaborate a lot on the technical level.

19:26.400 --> 19:32.400
And some of my colleagues make this a great, but I never seen any influence from them on our roadmap and decision.

19:32.400 --> 19:33.400
Yeah.

19:33.400 --> 19:35.400
But there's a good question.

19:35.400 --> 19:36.400
Can you share numbers?

19:36.400 --> 19:38.400
What kind of numbers?

19:38.400 --> 19:41.400
How much money you spend on marketing, for instance?

19:41.400 --> 19:43.400
If you know from top of the rules, I know you don't know.

19:43.400 --> 19:44.400
But I'm asking you.

19:44.400 --> 19:47.400
You have that in the very thought from the foundation.

19:47.400 --> 19:48.400
Yeah. Thank you.

19:48.400 --> 19:50.400
You can ask questions because we're running out of time.

19:50.400 --> 19:51.400
Thank you.

19:51.400 --> 19:55.400
What is the biggest threat you see for a particular?

19:55.400 --> 19:58.400
Easy question from a friend.

19:58.400 --> 20:00.400
Yes.

20:01.400 --> 20:04.400
What is the biggest threat for fire folks?

20:04.400 --> 20:07.400
At least is the fact that our competitors, they control the platform.

20:07.400 --> 20:13.400
So you are aware that if you use an iOS device, it's harder for us to push our technology on iOS

20:13.400 --> 20:16.400
because of the constraints that we get on the platform.

20:16.400 --> 20:20.400
So it's how do you promote your project when your competitor are shipping by default.

20:20.400 --> 20:21.400
There's software.

20:21.400 --> 20:22.400
And it has been a struggle.

20:22.400 --> 20:23.400
Well, not a struggle.

20:23.400 --> 20:25.400
But our focus for years.

20:25.400 --> 20:26.400
Thank you very much.

20:26.400 --> 20:29.400
And the things around Stephen is a very good speaker.

20:29.400 --> 20:30.400
We'll have fun.

20:30.400 --> 20:31.400
No pressure.

20:31.400 --> 20:32.400
No pressure.

20:32.400 --> 20:36.400
Again, if you want to leave the room, please do so downstairs.

20:36.400 --> 20:40.400
There's like stickers you can take all over the tables that we have.

20:40.400 --> 20:43.400
And our next speaker is Stephen Hood.

20:44.400 --> 20:45.400
I'm not lying.

20:45.400 --> 20:46.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:46.400 --> 20:47.400
It's a gentleman.

20:47.400 --> 20:48.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:48.400 --> 20:49.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:49.400 --> 20:50.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:50.400 --> 20:51.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:51.400 --> 20:52.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:52.400 --> 20:53.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:53.400 --> 20:54.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:54.400 --> 20:55.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:55.400 --> 20:56.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:56.400 --> 20:57.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:57.400 --> 20:58.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:58.400 --> 20:59.400
I'm not saying that to you.

20:59.400 --> 21:00.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:00.400 --> 21:01.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:01.400 --> 21:02.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:02.400 --> 21:03.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:03.400 --> 21:04.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:04.400 --> 21:05.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:05.400 --> 21:06.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:06.400 --> 21:16.400
I'm not saying that to you.

21:16.400 --> 21:18.400
You don't shamanah team.

21:18.400 --> 21:19.400
Guys come on station.

21:19.400 --> 21:20.400
They can't go out.

21:20.400 --> 21:21.400
Oh, sir.

21:21.400 --> 21:25.400
I don't care if you don't find a match.

21:25.400 --> 21:26.400
I do.

21:26.400 --> 21:27.400
I do.

21:27.400 --> 21:28.400
I do.
