You think they don't have enough cash to save FF, when they get $400m a year from Google?

You think they don't have enough cash to save FF, when they get $400m a year from Google?
- bzbarsky 5y ago$400m/year is in the ballpark for estimates of Chrome's _advertising_ spend, at various points.
- dylan604 5y agoGoogs just gave them $400m which means they have soooo much more than $400m. FF has to pay all of its budget with that, so hiring lawyers to take on Googs with that same bucket of money will never work. Googs will continue to give Moz $400m, but then turn right around and spend $401m on their lawyers to fight off whatever Moz can afford.
- ErikCorry 5y agoOK I was imagining them competing with a better browser, not with lawyers.
- dylan604 5y agoYou can have the best product and still receive little traction because the competitor is a megaCorp with huge marketing budgets and able use its size to make it harder for the little guy with the better product to compete. At that point, legal recourse tends to be the only action left. Googs isn't afraid of this, because they know Moz can't compete financially.
