Google keeps FF afloat?
They pay a lot of money to be the default search engine. It's a compromise.
Ohh I see, had no idea. That does seem like a bit of a conflict.
It's where the majority of Mozilla's funding comes from. Last I checked, the Google deal was responsible for something like 85% of their income.
😬 that’s a little terrifying. Especially with the web drm bs now
They get something like $500 million annually from Google. They have decently-sized cash reserves, but they'd have a LOT of trouble if Google ever cancel that deal.
