Isn't Mozilla worth half a billion dollars? Perhaps they are "independent" in the sense that they are technically a different organization than google, but usually when I hear independent it evokes images of some "plucky upstart" looking to take on some giant superstructure. I'm talking about independent movie theaters, or independent coffee companies. Things like that. Calling Firefox an independent browser is kind of like calling Internet Explorer an "independent browser" - it very well may be a different organization, but Microsoft is hardly independent as some kind of thin, agile, and flexible upstart looking to "take on old man google".
