Had it saved on my hard drive for years and recently re-discovered it. Seems to be from 2011 (!!)

Google is getting worse by the year, but it seems even back then some people were already seeing where things were going.

From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.

Honestly, I donโ€™t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.

Agreed. Itโ€™s a shit system that needs reform or we all die, but for not itโ€™s all about lesser evils

I worry about many of Firefoxโ€™s decisions (theyโ€™ve been going off script worryingly frequently), but funding the org with this one concession seems acceptable to me

Itโ€™s for the search engine, correct.

Which is meaningless as most Firefox users tend to switch to alternatives like duckduckgo

They pay to set the search engine to Google.

Something most Firefox users will change to something like Duckduckgo

Didnโ€™t Microsoft prop up Apple at one point specifically to avoid becoming a monopoly and getting regulated as such?
