    Mozilla genuinely believes that this company follows the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. At least, according to what Mozilla.vc says on its homepage.

    (See more of the $35 million of its investments there.)

    Other investments include:

    • Rodeo, an app that acknowledges the Gig Economy is harmful to Uber and Lyft drivers, but fundamentally doesn’t want to change those harms.
    • HuggingFace, a company valued at $4.5 billion already.
    • lockrMail, an “inbox protecting” tool with a Chrome extension but no Firefox equivalent, and a direct competitor to Firefox Relay.
