Yes, I'm late to the party.

the decisions they're having to make with Firefox to keep the funding from Google

Very interesting. If you have a link about that I'd love to read up on it.

Here's a 2014 article. Looks like Mozilla were still trying to keep their independence back then.

I'm hoping this is just a blip. It probably is; I think I'm thinking too much into it.

Thanks man. So Mozilla gets $ from whoever wants to be the default search engine.

Sadly. They're doing good stuff with the money, though, so it might be worth it in the long run, but it compromises Firefox to do so.

Yeah, maintaining a foundation with goals and employees is expensive.
