Default Firefox wants to cure its Google addiction

Looking for other revenue streams

Firefox maker, Mozilla, is in the awkward position of being financially dependent on its search deal with Google, which accounts for the majority of the organisation’s revenue.

Although Mozilla only last month renewed the search deal, ensuring Google remains the default search engine for Firefox in the US and other territories, the company is keen to explore different ways of raising revenue, including charging users for services.

Mozilla’s partnership with Google is an uncomfortable alliance because the companies distribute rival browsers, and their values are markedly different.

Google generates the vast bulk of its revenue from online advertising, Firefox’s developers expend much of their effort creating tools that thwart advertisers, including the automatic blocking of third-party tracking tools and social-media trackers.

Firefox senior vice president Dave Camp said that the outfit tends to believe things are at their best when users have this transparent value exchange.
