Ads would be cheeky, but I would welcome any efforts to get into the search space through search suggestions, akin to what Apple is doing in Safari with Siri Suggested Websites. Whether those are provided by Apple or Google I don't know, but they do open a window for Apple (and Mozilla) to slowly develop search capabilities. I've no idea whether that's either Apple or Mozilla's end game, but it would be a promising development if it were so.
- chrisjc 5y agoI'm pretty sure that Mozilla isn't getting into the search/ad business. I assume that's what you mean when you say "search capabilities". While it would be good news if they were, insofar as creating more competition for the incumbents (let's be honest, the incumbent, google), at this point only regulators can do anything about the state of search/ad industry. If this is actually the case Mozilla is yet again being used as one of Google's pawns. "See, there are other browsers and search/ad companies flourishing despite our market position!"
