funding, mainly.

That's right. If chrome didn't suck that much, no one would be funding firefox. Thanks Google!

Oh yeah, good point. Well at least that's just a deal to set the default search engine. Is there more?

[–] SourceSeeker@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More, as far as I know. Google has to at least keep it afloat, or else be accused of being a monopoly. It's a small price to pay for them.

Much like Microsoft bailing out Apple back in the day.

Finance an underdog so when someone complains about anti-competitiveness, you can point your finger at them and claim there's healthy competition.
