I think Google just pays Mozilla to give the semblance of competition - Firefox usage is a blip on the radar these days. I guess it depends on where Chrome ends up. As part of Google, payments would continue. As an independent venture, not a chance.

        > Apple is no-one's Firefox. It is in terms of OS market share.

        > It is in terms of OS market share Sure, if by 10% you mean less than 3%, and we handwave Mozilla's market cap to several hundred billion dollars more than Google, and we skip over the fact that the "80%" share ignores the dominant modern computing platform, then yeah no sure, I hear ya.
