Currently, Google pays Firefox’s bill by having them set their default search engine to Google.

This will no longer be when Chrome is in the hands of another party. DOJ is currently advocating for this forced sellout.

So will Firefox be no more after that?

    Google pays Firefox to have Google Search as the default search engine. Chrome is not the major money maker. It doesn’t even earn any money.

      It doesn’t even earn any money.

      Neither do the rotisserie chickens at the store. Or Costco’s $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.

      Chrome isn’t intended to make money, it’s a loss leader.
