Currently, Google pays Firefox’s bill by having them set their default search engine to Google.
This will no longer be when Chrome is in the hands of another party. DOJ is currently advocating for this forced sellout.
So will Firefox be no more after that?
You know what awaits us at greater heights? The state sponsored APT groups and ransomware operators.
I just can’t see how cutting the funding for both chrome and firefox is going to make the web a better place.
Chrome funding would shift, not necessarily stop. And having a dirty source of funds as your primary source is fundamental corruption. Even if works now, the future is bleak.
