@davidrevoy Love your work, David. And it’s definitely not your fault that we live in the worst possible timeline but what’s missing in that image is the hand from Google giving Mozilla half a billion dollars.
(Mozilla exists on roughly half a billion dollars from Google every year. Sadly, they’re not so much adversaries as partners.)
@aral What does this partnership entail? Is FF doing something beneficial for Google to get their money?
@laukanhenkka Google is a publicly-traded corporation with a fiduciary duty to its shareholders.
They cannot just give some organisation half a billion dollars unless they can make the case that they’re getting more than half a billion dollars of value back from their investment.
Most visibly, Mozilla makes Google its default search engine on Firefox.
More than that, Mozilla gets to exist thanks to Google. No half a billion a year from Google, no Mozilla, no Firefox.
