This is not getting then attention it deserves. Google is now providing less funding to Mozilla.

Does anyone actually use yahoo for search? I stopped around 1998 or so, when Altavista was king.

This is a big deal. For too long, Mozilla has been reliant on Google for funding, even as Google Chrome competes with Firefox.

I'm absolutely rooting for Yahoo and Mozilla, as consumer-friendly underdogs. Let's remember that Yahoo was secretly fighting for user privacy in FISA courts for years: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/11/yahoo-nsa-lawsu...
