- dingo_bat 8y ago> Mozilla doesn’t get 97% of it’s funding from google They do. Look up Mozilla's latest annual report. Edit: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2016/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2016/ Royalties of $503k out of total revenue $520k. Almost 100% of the Royalties are from thier search engine agreement with Google.

That report is from 2016, when Yahoo had the search engine deal with Mozilla in the US and paid most of the royalties. Now Google presumably pays the most, I doubt that immediately turned Mozilla into their stooge. Plus, Google is already publicly favoring net neutrality. Some backroom conspiracy to hide things doesn't seem to benefit them.
