At a much lower price, because search deals are paid based on number of searches done (so indirectly, the number of active users), and because Google has 90%-ish market share, it means a 90% drop in revenue.
Also, Bing has on average twice higher RPMs, so, a 50% of drop in income after rev-share.
So, you remove 90% of the revenue, and you divide by 2 what is remaining.
- calgoo 3y agoTechnically it might even be healthy for Mozilla to loose 90% of the budget as they are spending that on bs projects that has nothing to do with Firefox. Maybe it would force them to spend the money on the Firefox team, and all the money hungry top management would go somewhere else where they can waste money.
- asadotzler 3y agoMozilla spends a very large majority of its revenue directly on Firefox. Cut Mozilla's budget by 90% and you cut Firefox's budget by nearly 90%.
