Firefox no longer requires support from Google

Firefox said it no longer needed Google's financial support. In November 25, Firefox browser developers said that Firefox is no longer dependent on Google's financial support, and its latest search engine will bring more financial benefits to Firefox. For many years, Google has been providing funding for Mozilla's search website Firefox. According to the company's financial report, in 2014, the non-profit organization spent $0.33 billion.

 

Mozilla reached this agreement with Google at the end of 2014. Search engine companies competing with Google include Yahoo, Baidu, and Yandex of Russia.

Mozilla's chief business and Legal Director said that Mozilla has not made any profit from Google, although Google is the default search engine for Firefox browser users in Europe. "At this point, we have no business relationship with Google. Mozilla does not take money at present. Our strategy is to encourage more competition. "

For Mozilla, more competition means that consumers can have more choices when conducting Internet search and services. The online world is now not limited to personal computers, it has expanded to mobile devices controlled by large companies such as Apple and Google.

Self-reliant Mozilla will make it difficult for these industry giants to abuse their industry position, for example, making search results more advantageous to themselves or preventing competitors from accessing content.

Google and Mozilla have always been allies and are seeking for better development, such as e-commerce, blogs, social networks, news releases, and communication. At the same time, close financial connections also allow Google to give Mozilla some special help to ensure that people have more choices when surfing the Internet. Google maintains strict control over its Android mobile phone software and other related services, such as Google Maps, Google Mail, YouTube, Google music, and Google Docs.
