Remind me: who provides most of the funding that FF has?
that only reinforces that you should use firefox… forcing google to pay more money to mozilla and giving mozilla more power to negotiate is a good thing
sure google has some power over them with the money they give, but by using chromium that power is absolute - no need to pay, ask, influence when you just get
Your point?
Because of incentives it's not impossible for the Mozilla foundation to drop support for manifest V2 eventually. If Google's paying 90% of their bills, it's not unreasonable to assume they also have a say in the direction of the browser
I've never seen any reason to believe Google has any say in the direction of Firefox. Google pays to be the default search engine, not more, not less.
This same argument could be brought up about Safari. All other browsers are based on Chromium anyway, so they are directly developed by Google themselves.
