Example Firefox: As it is Google is funding Mozilla to make it seem that there is competition. I don’t know if I want firefox to get bigger just enough so Google cuts their funding and it disappears. If so many people want to use spyware let them, so we can have the goodies.

Google pays to be the default search engine in Firefox.

The larger Firefox gets, the less Google is going to want that default search to be anybody OTHER than them.

Mozilla are also trying to find sources of additional funding, such as the ads (sponsored sites) that appear on the new tab page now, and their other services such as their VPN.
