It's not the first time. Mozilla was helping to fascism in Russia for years by using Yandex as a default search engine in Russia. Because Yandex was paying them. It's all for money, obviously. And now they don't want to lose the market. But the fans of FF will explain how this is "ethical" and helps to save the web.

It's not ethical.

Chrome, and Google, however, are worse. Firefox derived browsers are the lesser of two evils, at least they prevent Google having a total monopoly.

Chrome is a commercial product and don't pretend to be something more, while Firefox gets free marketing from the whole GNU/Linux community, exploiting people's sense of morals.
