The company responsible for the Firefox browser was recently thrown into the midst of a controversy when their CEO made some anti-gay statements.
OkCupid shed more light on the matter when they began blocking Firefox users from accessing their services and now, the CEO of Mozilla is stepping down.
Here is part of the statement from Mozilla’s blog.
Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it’s because we haven’t stayed true to ourselves.
We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act. We didn’t move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We’re sorry. We must do better.
Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He’s made this decision for Mozilla and our community.
