    While receiving millions in cash like Firefox does is nice, search engine referral is what drives the browser economy. hackernews personalities tend to get stuck on whats happening on their phone but the significant details are all in regulations, contracts, and closed door meetings not some deep state conspiracy spying on your low level cache to find out you like pictures of naked ladies.

    Edge used to be an alternative on Windows at least, but now it's also based on Chromium. :-( I'd always prefer Firefox, but if you want to avoid Google money, you're basically up to Microsoft or Apple. The latter tying you to a hardware monopoly.

  At least they have a good manifesto. If they reach independence, it would be of course best. Donations could help in theory...

  Mozilla, at least, has shown they're not married to Google - they had Yahoo als the default search engine for a couple of years because Yahoo was the highest bidder.
