Mozilla is the maker of the famous Firefox browser which has been using its own web engine called “Gecko” since forever, and hence, is not affected at all by these moves from Google.

You answered your own question. It doesn't effect FF.

But, I do agree they should use the downgrade in functionality of V3 as a point for advertising FF.

Don't they get like 90% of their money from Google?

[–] slazer2au 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

that's also probably a factor in why they don't say anything, big moneypants might say something

No, big moneypants is getting sued for monopoly practices, which means Mozilla's search revenue may dry up. I'm guessing they don't want to ruin their chances with a competitor should they need to find another search partner.

sure, that's also probably a factor in why they don't say anything, new big moneypants might say something
