Currently, Google pays Firefox’s bill by having them set their default search engine to Google.

This will no longer be when Chrome is in the hands of another party. DOJ is currently advocating for this forced sellout.

So will Firefox be no more after that?

    Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses, and the actual ingredient cost is literally pennies per unit.

      costco’s business model is to sell everything at cost and only profit from subscriptions. hence the name.

        Yes, hence why I had to correct myself

    • Yeah, and that’s exactly what a “loss leader” is defined by. They make no profit off the hotdog combo itself but the hotdog combo may be enough of an incentive for someone to come to Coscto in the first place and end up buying more shit that does make a profit.
