Mozilla appoints new CEO, unveils new AI focus

Abstract

Vowing to make it the “world’s most trusted software company,” Mozilla’s board of directors announced Tuesday it was appointing Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as the new CEO, whose mandate will be to achieve that lofty goal. Describing Mozilla’s strategy announcement as an “interesting development,” Sanchit Vir Gogia, the chief analyst at Greyhound Research, said that the debate around browser-based AI has been framed far too narrowly and often presented as a choice between two extremes. On one hand, he said, “Chrome and Edge are racing ahead, turning the browser into an always on AI surface optimized for consumer productivity, cloud integration, and ecosystem scale.”
