Why wouldn't Google keep funding them? Google isn't funding them to develop an alternative web browser that's actually useful. Priority #1 is to support cretins like Clay Bevensee, #2 is to add to the pretense that there is choice in web browsers.
There's probably some antitrust imaging for US government in there too.

what's the least pozzed chromium fork? because I'm very skeptical of Braves "trust us goyim" approach.
Seems them pushing ideology is worth it.
Why would the EU regulators care? As long as the Mozilla Foundation continues to focus on their core purpose- attacking freedom of speech for anyone who isn't a pedophilic troon- they'll stay happy.
Mozilla, as it hasn't been in years, isn't relevant in the discussion. This is all about google and it using these payments to fend off anti-trust regulation. No one buys that firefox is a competitor to chrome in any way. The fact Mozilla and firefox only exist because google pays them makes that crystal clear. The EU allowing an american tech company to hold a monopoly over the way its citizens access the internet isn't something they seem keen on.
"My job is done"
I hope this ends up being a lesson for tech enthusiasts to realize that those warning this would come should have been listened to.
I remember when social justice was widely considered "Not a problem, just something limited to looney college campuses".
Funny how it (predictably) ended up ruining everything.
Because a lot of entities (primarily state entities like courts and utilities) are still running off activeX controls and don't actually work with modern browsers. IE11's official end of support is the same as Win10/Server2016's EOL, which hasn't been set yet (and might not, if Microsoft switches to subscription-based updates.)
I have to use something at work that is built in Silverlight. And we just "upgraded" to that about a year ago. It's a piece of shit.
There's a massive amount of things still reliant on functionally dead technologies. At my MSP, we have 3 separate tools desperately struggling to move off of flash before the year ends, some of our clients have tools that run on very old editions of Java (of which Coretto/OpenJDK does not work,) we have a couple of softwares we manage that run on compiled pre-systemd linux distros (although that might be a good thing,) and, of course, websites with plaintext HTTP despite LE existing to provide SSL certs for free.

It was a crappy browser that made web designers jobs 3X harder because of incompatibilities. Along with it being Microsoft, I don't think it will be missed. A shame though that every other browser except for extremely autistic text browsers such as Lynx are bloated spyware. Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, Palememe.
