@superkret weirdly, yeah. Firefox gets the majority of its money from Google paying to be the default browser. If they're banned from doing that, a lot of browsers will see a big drop in funding.

@zoostation good question. Though in Apples case, they're probably fine. They make a tonne of cash, and have a pile of it 😅

That's going to have huge effects, especially for browsers like #Firefox - it's going to be an interesting to see this pan out
