Mozilla Foundation eliminates its advocacy and global programs divisions

The Mozilla Foundation laid off 30 percent of its workforce and completely eliminated its advocacy and global programs divisions, TechCrunch reports.  While Mozilla is best known for its Firefox web browser, the Mozilla Foundation — the parent of the Mozilla Corporation — describes itself as standing up “for the health of the internet.” With its advocacy and global programs divisions gone, its impact may be lessened going forward. “Fighting for a free and open internet will always be core to our mission, and advocacy continues to be a critical tool in that work. We’re revisiting how we pursue that work, not stopping it,” Brandon Borrman, the Mozilla Foundation’s communications chief, said in an email to The Verge.

Khachanov eliminates Sumit Nagal in the first round

India’s top singles player, Sumit Nagal, faced a tough challenge in his French Open debut, succumbing to Russia’s Karen Khachanov in straight sets. The match concluded with Nagal losing 2-6, 0-6, 6-7(5) on Monday. Ranked 95th, Nagal struggled to counter the powerful and consistent play of Khachanov. Despite his impressive victory over world number 31 Alexander Bublik at the Australian Open, Nagal couldn’t replicate that success on the clay courts of Roland Garros. The match commenced under damp conditions due to earlier rain, which slowed the court slightly and favored extended rallies. Nagal began strongly but was broken in the third game by Khachanov. Although Nagal managed to save three breakpoints and fight back, an unforced error ultimately gave Khachanov the first break. Following a 21-minute rain delay, Khachanov returned to the court with increased intensity, making it difficult for Nagal to respond. The Russian’s precise and forceful hitting left Nagal scrambling defensively.
