I really think Google simply keeps FF around just to help prevent anti-trust litigation. When viewed in that light, it's a bargain.

  It also means that you can’t de-google while supporting Firefox since it’s pretty much their only source of income other than donations.

    I don't give a damn, I degoogled anyway. As much as is technically possible without building Firefox myself anyway.

    Set a different default search engine on Firefox.

      You are missing the point it’s not that you physically can’t do that but you can’t do that while supporting (as indirectly financially) Firefox, it also ensures that Firefox doesn’t go out of their way to push people to de-google.

      This actually will hurt, because: "Firefox's revenue is subject to the overall trend of the search market and our product performance, versus a guaranteed payment." https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/firefox-maker-mozilla-lays-off-250-workers-says-covid-19-lowered-revenue/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/firef...
