The Mozilla Firefox (my main browser) default search engine is Google, and I am pretty sure they get some funding from Google in return. I’m pretty sure Firefox needs the funding to survive. Removing Google as the default may reduce the funding, putting Firefox in jeopardy.
Is this French search engine going to provide replacement funding to Mozilla to keep Firefox alive? Or are the French a bunch of freeloaders?
How are the French "freeloaders" for not paying for something they don't use or want?
I use Firefox, but I've switched its default search to DuckDuckGo.
