> Chrome is currently giving life support to Mozilla and when they decide to axe that, well it's game over for Mozilla. Mozilla has a viable business model: making a browser and selling placement of search engine. They aren't on "life support" from Google. I use Firefox every day and it's a great browser. Chrome has not leap-frogged the competition. It's just the default choice for most people.

> Mozilla has a viable business model: making a browser and selling placement of search engine. The problem is that the latter thing is only valuable while the former thing has enough users. As Chrome continues to siphon market share away from Firefox, Google will be willing to pay less and less for default search engine placement. Honestly I think the main reason Google keeps being so "generous" is because Firefox is ammunition they can use to fight anti-trust claims.
