> Presumably many/most of those users are not happy with Google/Chrome/advertising/tracking. I wouldn't bet on that. A lot of non-tech-savvy people use Firefox because it was recommended by their nerdy friends. If funding Mozilla resulted in no return, Google would have realized it by now. They have been doing it for quite a long time.

  You are not alone in this conspiracy theory. A significant portion of Google’s business right now is to fend of anti-trust accusations.
