- yen223 13y agoFWIW Google pays Mozilla a lot of money to keep Google the default search engine on Firefox. They probably aren't too concerned if everyone switched to Firefox.
- threeseed 13y agoOf course they would be concerned if people switched to Firefox. It's a business risk. Because what happens if Microsoft outbids Google and suddenly 1/3 of all browsers switch overnight to Bing.
- endtime 13y agoMy personal perspective is that Google wants people using performant, standards-compliant browsers. Doesn't matter who made it.
- threeseed 13y agoNo. Google wants people to view and click their ads. That's how they make their money. The only reason Chrome exists is because they know that most people just search using the text field in the top right corner of the browser.
