> Are you 100% sure Yandex has not provided any funding to Mozilla?

I am 100% sure it has. But the point is that all search engines are willing to create these funding deals, so that leaves the freedom to pick the ones that you think are best for users.

The more accurate understanding is: All search engines are willing to create these funding deals, so you pick the biggest cash offer.

If you're trying to maximize revenue, sure.

But the whole point is that Mozilla is trying to have revenue, obviously, but maximizing it is not a goal, as long as it covers expenses.
