Google pays to be the default search in Firefox, it was Bing for a while.

Also it pays to keep mozilla alive.It helps in defending anti-competitive lawsuits.

Sad to say there are only two engines available for the open web.(Not considering Safari as that is only available on apple)

The WebKit engine Safari uses is still open source, Gnome Web and Konqueror use it. It definitely has a small non-apple userbase but it’s an option
