Google's search deal with Mozilla is such a sizeable portion of its overall income that without it, Firefox would struggle to compete - or even survive,

      Because a browser is several orders of magnitudee more complex than a website.

        Wikimedia is even using php still. Firefox created Rust I believe, in order to advance.

          Rust was originally created by a Mozilla dev as a hobby project. Also, the Mozilla rust team was fired in 2020 during a “restructuring”.

                It seems like such an import project.

                  People in charge of Mozilla are there to cock block Firefox. Similar with Signal

                  These are just my opinions though but I learned long time ago to look at what they do, not what they say. Thay will generally get me closer to the truth.

                  Corpos MO is to always lie, I think they call it “Public Relations”
