With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    Firefox is the only independent browser

    Yeah, funded by google seems pretty independent to me…

      They only get money from google to be the default Engine (which you can change easily)

      In terms of development and the program of Firefox itself, google has no input or say…thus Firefox still being independent

        When 430 out of your 450m annual income comes from google you’d be naive to think they have no say at all. In a perfect world maybe.

        Time will tell. We’ll see what firefox does when chrome drops manifest v2.

      I used to work for Mozilla. They are funded my many sources, of which Google is only one. Google does not drive Firefox’s feature set or roadmap in any way at all.
