| > Weird returning to Firefox, but I did and there is nothing in chrome I miss. I fear that Firefox’s days are probably numbered at this point, as it’s (imo) too late to turn the ship. Firefox/Mozilla gets something in the region of 80% of its revenue from a single source, Google, for the default search engine placement. But with the court finding Google being a Monopoly those payments will probably come to an end. Apple will be able to tank the loss, sure it will sting, but it’s not like those payments from Google where its main revenue stream. Firefox/Mozilla on the other hand… It’s one of the reasons they have been other paid for offerings. But once the Google money goes away, who is going to step in to replace it? Bing probably, but without having to compete with Google, you can be sure Bings offer won’t be anywhere near that of Googles. And that’s even before going into any of the other “happenings” going on. (I say this as a long term Firefox user, I just fear that its days are numbered at this point, so while I’ll welcome you aboard, and we are not sinking yet, I have worries about that large looking iceberg we seem to be heading for.) |
