- dao- 9y agoWhat I said is perfectly valid. Parent company is a well-defined term that doesn't apply here. Now, may Google try to put pressure on Mozilla? Sure. Would Mozilla obey? Possibly...? None of this means that this has actually happened or will happen. Stop spreading conspiracy theories.

Would they rather put 100s of people out of a job? Close down shop? Because 97% reduction in revenue can cause that.
- dao- 9y agoIt's quite unlikely that the options would be as clear cut as "delete the Google container addon or close down Mozilla." Note that Mozilla has just recently operated roughly two years I think without a contract with Google.
