The problem is they have the lion’s share of users, so they can force websites to adhere to their policies and those sites will stop working in FF.

Google is the source of most of the funding to Firefox. Can go 100 to 0 anytime basically

You're assuming that this will kill FF instantly instead of them finding new ways to fund themselves. Not saying the situation is good, but it's not that bad.

Don't they pay for firefox just so they don't get hit with antitrusts?
