Note that is affects only U.S.-based users of Firefox. Good move for both parties, and I hope they can struck deals with regional search engines in other locations as well. Diversification is good for everybody.
- y0ghur7_xxx 12y agoI too think that diversity helps: google has a monopoly in search, and a push for yahoo in search queries may even help them make the search engine better, and maybe they will become a much needed google competitor.
- freehunter 12y agoDoes Yahoo still operate a search engine? I thought they used Bing.
- cpeterso 12y agoMozilla and Google have been "frenemies" for a while. Now that Firefox is no longer supporting Google's search monopoly, I wonder how Google's search traffic (and stock price) will look in six months. I think Mozilla's decision is good for increasing search competition.
- venomsnake 12y agoIt will be same. Unless Yahoo have a real winning product (which given their track record, I doubt) people will just switch to google.
