I don’t think he even cares that much about money, except that it’s useful/needed for the things he wants to accomplish.

Unfortunately, the things he wants have gotten steadily shittier and shittier and more disgusting over the last 15 years.

You’re assuming he gives a shit about how much profit it’s making.

It’s not a public company, it’s now his private playground to try to get millions of people to see only the “free speech” he wants them to see, and exert political influence.

Weird, on Jerboa I see wheelchair and don’t see “Wheelchair” anywhere.

Oh

You…don’t understand how surveys work, I see.

This isn’t a finite range.

You didn’t…?

Why not?

A shitload of people, like as many as 10!

Nope

Just use Firefox already

You’re almost definitely thinking of Simone Giertz

It’s been a pain over on…Wikipedia…?

Wow, I totally missed that part. That would be a potentially different story.

Kagi is very good.

I don’t see why a breakup would mean a Firefox deal can’t be done anymore. Unless the search engine business shut down, they would still be motivated to have a default search engine deal with browsers.

What might change, I think, could be:

• Search engine may be way less motivated to have a deal with Firefox. FF has pretty low market share. One popular theory is that Google continues to subsidize FF partly to make it look like there is other viable browser competition and that they are helping foster it (for antitrust reasons). If search and browser were different companies - not being proposed I don’t believe, but could happen in a breakup - this might lessen. Although apparently even 2-5% of the market is worth billions so I could see it easily continuing. Especially if signs are that other browsers start losing some share.
• Less money to FF: If the ads biz does become less lucrative, that’d flow downstream to deals like the one with Mozilla.

But I don’t see any reason why they “wouldn’t be able” to have a deal anymore.

When was that period?

Do it today.

Well, plus all the other versions too, but embedded especially in this case

Yay, I knew it would be that super old reference!

Maybe where you work
