What would Verizon acquiring Yahoo! mean for Mozilla? Given Verizon's history of user tracking, that would be an awkward partnership.

- teaneedz 11y agoIndeed. I think Yahoo is already a liability to the Mozilla brand. DDG should just become the default for search. That move would at least create goodwill for Mozilla.

- cpeterso 11y agoI assume DDG does not have $300M in the bank to pay Mozilla for year one, but perhaps DDG could scale that big with Firefox traffic? I prefer DDG's privacy, UI, and search results over Google, so Firefox users might conceivably be less likely to dump DDG than they were Yahoo!.
