Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
(ladybird.org)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Funny how in the video the guy say that all other browsers are based on Google's code. But Firefox is also independent right?
He says "powered by or funded by Google". Firefox depends on Google financially, most of the income of Mozilla comes from Google paying for being the default search engine.
They try to diversify their income (Firefox VPN, email alias service, etc.), but anything they try gets a huge backlash from the community, and still small compared to the the money from google.
Is this their way of asking Google for money?
I think google need firefox exist to avoid anti trust, and Mozilla need google to keep the the six figures payroll for the CEO. So yes.
