How are they doing that? They’re simply making money by putting Google search as the default. Changing it literally takes a few seconds.
They developed the "privacy sandbox" together. And in terms of cashflow, they depend on that google money. They're in trouble without it
That’s irrelevant. The only thing important is what they have to do for that money, which is setting Google as the default search engine. This only “hurts” you if you don’t take 15 seconds to change the default.
Well, yes, technically. But then again, if google decides to stop doing that firefox can't pay for it's staff or infrastructure. Really, they have an incentive to listen
Sure. Until that happens, it will be the better option.
True
Yeah that's not true.
Chrome came up with that feature a while back. Now firefox is adding the same. And then later I learned it was a cooperative effort, just not under the same name
