Firefox only exists because it's primarily funded by Google. It's funded by Google to ensure they actually have some competition and avoid becoming a Monopoly.
If they kill Firefox or otherwise make it unusable they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.
However, if it ends up being a bad experience that no one wants to use, well that's not on them and they have no responsibility to fix it.
What will likely happen is Firefox will also adopt this DRM.
Mozilla does not exist because of Google. Google doesn't have controlling power over Mozilla, nor do they have power over the many forks. It's hilarious that you think a company would give a shit about being a monopoly; that's what they strive for. This stupid take has been going around for years, and I'm sad to see it spread to Lemmy.
They give a shit about not being a monopoly because if they were, they'd be broken up so they're not one anymore. At least currently still.
Oh, you. I remember you from another thread the other week, saying how Chromium is not Chrome and that this would never happen. Hi. It is happening. Also, I remember telling you to stop moving goalposts, which is what you are doing here.
Microsoft would be happy to pay Firefox to set Bing as default (has happened in the past already) so even your goalpost moving is moot.

I don't think that checks out.

Come on, wake up.
