If anyone else was confused by the typo, difficult > default.

I'm not sure what to think. On one hand, yes, Google is of course slimy. But if Mozilla loses it's big source of funding (and crumbles as a result), that may put things in a worse place?

Then again, it's a shame that the only major competing browser engine is funded by the dominant browser's company. Maybe Mozilla can be fine without it?

How is chrome going to be funded if it's broken off?

I wish there was a better way to do it but sadly right now this is it. If you want independent browsers to continue they need funding from somewhere.

honestly I don't see the thing here. unless its about edge being a respin of chrome. all macs come with safari, all windows edge, ironically its a few linux distros that come with chrome while others use a default foss browser. I feel like their biggest monopoly is windows giving up and using their core rather than making their own.

Mozilla has been taken over from within by google parasites...

Frankly its days are numbered and we will need a solution how to keep the engine development going.

Very said it is time for Firefox to go its own way.

Why the hell would anyone defend Firefox/Mozilla anymore? Why, because they aren't google? That's a weaker argument the more times Mozilla finds ways to distrust their userbase.
