This is a poorly conceptualized article.
Mozilla makes money off Google. Google does not hold the purse strings and therefore cannot tell Mozilla what to build and what not to build. Of course a business deal could be made that restricted Mozilla's options, but I'm not aware of any such restriction and I don't think the non-profit organization would ever accept such an offer.
There are other incorrect assumptions in the article, which are not backed up by fact or interview sources.
- suyash 14y agoYeah the article is pretty bad. These days even Forbes is producing garbage content (just catchy headlines and no meat to it). You are correct, google pays Mozilla since they use Google Search in Firefox and they have no business otherwise in Mozilla's development. Also Firefox OS just launched and who know what it will become so I believe that maybe another reason for Google to not worry about it yet.
