Ironically by killing Google you highly likely will put Mozilla into a surviving. I doubt they will figure out how to deliver any new “big” features without being able paying their talented devs without a such funding.
- tjoff 3y agoJust maybe, if over half of the browser market disappeared (chrome), there might be a dollar or two materializing for the remaining options.
- tacitusarc 3y agoDoesn’t Google fund a lot of Mozilla’s dev work?
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoWhy would Google fund a competitor? On face value that doesn’t make much sense, but megacorps with so many tendrils rarely make cohesive decisions.
- formerly_proven 3y ago90% or so of revenue is generated by search engine royalties, i.e. Mozilla getting paid for the choice of the default search engine (mostly Google).
- Vinnl 3y agoIt doesn't "fund" it - it buys its position as the default search engine in Firefox, which makes up the bulk of Mozilla's income. In this theoretical world where Google actually goes away, presumably some other company would want to pay for that position.
