Also I think this quote might be technically right, but Mozilla's revenue is almost entirely paid from advertising companies who pay royalties to have their search engines by default in Firefox. So they are very much coupled to the dynamics of the ads industry.

So Apple is earning from Google's advertisements. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/11/google-witness-accidentally-blurts-out-that-apple-gets-36-cut-of-safari-deal/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/11/google-witness-a...

- madebylaw 3y agoWell FF is too, so not sure that’s relevant to TFAs claim that we are discussing in this thread.
- vinhill 3y agoJust a small correction. Large parts of revenue are obtained though sharing ad revenue between Mozilla and a search engine, not for being the default search engine.
