Mozilla Corp., the organization behind the Firefox browser, has announced that CEO Mitchell Baker will step down to focus on AI and internet safety as chair of the nonprofit foundation. Laura Chambers, a board member with experience at Airbnb, PayPal, and eBay, will serve as interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found. Baker’s decision to step down is motivated by a sense of urgency over the state of the internet and public trust. Chambers plans to address privacy concerns and build new products, while actively searching for a permanent CEO. Mozilla aims to challenge business models built on fueling outrage and give users control over their data.
