It’s a shame that Firefox is still heavily reliant on Google. It’s not chrome but we really do need some competition in this space that doesn’t feed the monster and is also not safari lol.

How does it rely on Google?

Oh yeah, good point. Well at least that’s just a deal to set the default search engine. Is there more?

That’s right. If chrome didn’t suck that much, no one would be funding firefox. Thanks Google!

Something like 90% of Mozilla’s funding comes from Google paying them to make Google the default search engine in Firefox.
