Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO

Baker's testimony shows that Mozilla depends so much on its deal with Google for revenue that "the biggest loser of a DOJ win in the Google case would be Mozilla."

People who use Firefox probably also have some gripes against Google's work, but I sure as fuck don't want anything to do with Yahoo

I'm fine with Firefox getting paid for the 2nd step of the install being changing the default search to DDG.

the duck is always getting better, while the goog is always getting shittier

Or just use LibreWolf. It's Firefox without the crap like Google search, Pocket or Sponsored sites. It also has significant privacy improvements compared to stock. I highly recommend it, it's been my daily driver for years.
