Mozilla in how it's advertised / talked about:
- The One True Independent browser against Google
- Cares about your privacy
- The Open Web!
Mozilla in reality:
- Nearly a Google subsidy
- Chooses business over privacy
- Made it impossible to reuse it's engine without forking the whole browser (like for chromium)

@lanodan To be completely just to them, they did maintain embeddable Gecko for some time, but people barely used it and those who did switched to WebKit almost immediately when it became an option.
AFAIK, they've even maintained their own replacement for Android system WebView, but it failed to gain a substantial user base — a pity really, Android without Google WebView might have been not that bad 😩
