Amen. Everything google touches turns to shit. Everything.
They are funded by Google. I much prefer the “some random guys or whoever will fork their code” model of software for this sort of thing.

Google pays them to be the default search engine, they’re not funded by Google.

Isn’t that their main source of revenue?

The rights to search sure are, but it’s more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.
Mozilla definitely needs to diversity better here, but the implication that they’re “funded by google” is completely misleading.

I don’t buy that what they are paid reflects the value of their search rights. Google has antitrust interest in the continued existence of Firefox, that’s why they would pay them, doesn’t matter what they say it’s for.
