When vice-presidents of Mozilla were asked, along the years since it was signed, what was the exact content of the contract signed with Google, all of them answered “I don’t know. I havent read it.”
Who in the world read the contract Mozilla and Google signed together?
Who has a single clue of what has been in there? And subsequently how can we trust Mozilla in such conditions? How didn’t it doom itself to never be in a position to compete meaningfully with Chrome, buying itself time and/or a comfortable mattress of $$$?
Who can tell the Google+Mozilla contract DOESNT contain the following:
- Firefox shall never include adblock technology as a default
- Firefox shall always “feel lucky” with Google
- Firefox shall always “phone home” to Google with “safe browsing” etc.
How can we know the billion $$$ of Google didnt serve to make sure that Firefox would never be the browser that th people actually need to protect themselves against… Google?
Actually we know nothing at all, because no one knows the exact terms, the only thing what we know is that people got fired and that the CEO of Mozilla made more money.
Google and Mozilla will never disclose any details here, so the question stands. Google and Mozilla had btw more than one deal, and they continued their partnership over the years.
Please give OP also some time to respond, I am not the OP here.
