Ask HN: What would happen to Google's revenue if Firefox came with an adblocker?
I'm curious if people think it would be unethical to ship Firefox with an adblocker and what the effects would be on Google and other sites.
- dsmithn 16y agoI'm sure it would hurt Mozilla more than Google if Google stopped paying to be the default search provider. I guess indirectly Mozilla is supported by Google Ads.
- answerly 16y agoThats exactly right. More than 85% of Mozilla's revenue comes from an ad rev share with Google.
- iampims 16y agoWhy do you think Google launched Chrome? They certainly don’t want to let another company have too much power over their unique source of income.
