Mozilla doesn't have the conflict of interest google does with ads... That alone makes me use Firefox over Chrome.

    Yep, the three clicks it takes to disable that really drives me nuts.

      They should not do it in the first place. Don't be so dismissive.

  Doesn't Mozilla get nearly all its money from Google; I've assumed that actions by Mozilla have been coloured by not wanting to ditch its multi-hundred-million dollar benefactor. Google has apparently paid Mitchell Baker personally multiple millions of dollars too. Seems Google know how to manage their risks. Mozilla seem perhaps even more beholden to ad revenue than Google.

    > Google has apparently paid Mitchell Baker personally multiple millions of dollars too. What are you talking about?

      Google fund Mozilla, it's not a secret, you can use a search engine and find such information. Or did you mean to contradict me rather than ask a question?

        I know that Mozilla has historically been paid by Google to make Google search the default search provider in Firefox. But you just claimed "Google has apparently paid Mitchell Baker personally multiple millions of dollars too" which is something different that I have heard nothing about. So, what is that claim about?
