    Yup, iirc 80% of mozillas revenue comes from Google. I could very well be wrong, though. I read it the other day online. It feels like a Robin Hood situation to me. Lol

        It absolutely is. That’s why I always say we all need to donate when we can go open source projects. I know Mozilla seems very well off financially, but that’s literally because Google pays them a shit ton of money yearly. If they cut that off, they’re going under.

          They get something like $500 million annually from Google. They have decently-sized cash reserves, but they’d have a LOT of trouble if Google ever cancel that deal.
