Won’t this kill Firefox? As far as I understand Google is providing a lot of funding with the default search engine agreement.

It would definitely require a substantial effort for Mozilla to find other funding. If I were Mozilla right now I would be trying to secure other deals to act as a safety net if this ruling goes through.

It basically already has killed Firefox though. It’s just taking a long time to die. Have a look at their market share over the last decade. Hopefully enough people keep using it that it stays actively developed, but that’s hardly guaranteed.

It only needs enough users that Google keeps paying enough to be the default search engine.
