> Firefox haven't caved in so far. Why do u think it might in future?

Because pretty much all their revenue comes from Google.

I think Google will try to annoy Firefox users into using Chrome instead via things like needless captchas.

Things like https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/06/mozilla-firefox-android-... do not bode well either... :(

All the more reason to keep using Firefox.

Donate if you can!

Donations to Mozilla Foundation do not support Firefox development. But payments for services to Mozilla Corporation do.[1]

Those also don't go to just Firefox development but also to cushy executive salaries.

Last I heard was that there is no way to be sure that donations to the Mozilla Foundation go to Firefox.

They will do both. Firefox has zero leverage to do anything and is on life support with Google's money.

Making Firefox even less desirable by "googlifying" it pushes Firefox users away and kills its image of a viable competitor. That's exactly what Google is paying for.

Why would Google destroy the cover they have for keeping control over Chrome and 70% of internet users, just to squeeze a bit more ad revenue from what, 2% of users?

[account42]

Copying Chrome at the expense of loosing even more of their user share has been Firefox's MO for the last decade. It doesn't have to make sense to be reality.

Firefox has around 2% share, it hasn't been a viable competitor for a long time.
