In 2014, Mozilla appointed the JavaScript creator as its CEO, only to fire him after 11 days after "discovering" his donations to anti-gay groups.
Later on, he founded his own browser company and called it "Brave".

Microsoft is deliberately making Office XML schema complicated and implemented only on its proprietary backend so that open source suites like LibreOffice can't handle MS Office documents properly:
