Firefox does not compete with Google Search. It is common for 2 companies to both be partners and competitors at the same time. It's obvious that Mozilla won't have full control over the product, as Google didn't donate the money, but there is a contract in place for what Mozilla's obligations are. I believe it is unlikely that there is obligation to remain on gecko, and suspect the actual requirements on the product are at the user facing level of making Google the default search provider.your business gets 80% of its revenue from its competitor, you do not have full control over your product
Why are you so certain? Opera already did exactly this. They had an ad revenue sharing agreement with Google, they switched the browser engine of Opera to Chromium, and Google didn't terminate their revenue sharing agreement.I am absolutely certain that Mozilla would not be allowed to switch to Chromium.
It's not fact. https://www.theinformation.com/arti...fox-search-deal-as-bing-chatbot-gains-sputterThe fact that Microsoft aren't interested in Firefox is PROOF that everything is above board, guys.
The ads for a Google search generate more revenue than the ads for a Bing search which gives Google the advantage when making a bid.
