They were considering blocking Google from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine, which is almost all of Firefox 's revenue.
It kinda makes sense, chome being the dominant browser gives Google a search advantage, and the other alternatives (like safari and Firefox) both make deals with Google to have it be the default as well.
But removing those deals would be more disastrous for Firefox than for Google.

What. Idk how that makes sense but I guess I am glad that didn’t happen. Still frustrated with this outcome tho.
