    firefox is not that clear, they get funding by google for putting google as default search engine thus helping google. We have a problem with FOSS funding

      While that’s true I think this meme is far from a fair characterization of that arrangement, given how Mozilla differs so starkly from Google on the direction of the open web. Case in point, their refusal to deprecate manifest v2 for browser extensions.

      It is the only way they can get as much funding so I would say that it’s more than in the clear, firefox is the only escape from google’s monopoly on web (chrominum)
