Explanation

The comic shows a chart between the # of members of the pagan religion Wicca and the # of times Mozilla's web browser Firefox has been downloaded, the implication being that Firefox is related to Wicca. The page lists Internet Explorer, a rival web browser, and the cross, representing Christianity, on the bottom, implying that it is an attempt at discouraging Firefox by both Internet Explorer and a Christian source.

The title text is reminiscent of commercials, which tell you who paid for them. The last sentence is a play on the term of Closed source software, which Internet Explorer is, as oppose to Firefox, which was open source in development.
