    Isn’t the only reason firefox gets google ad money is because google is afraid they would slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit? Firefox getting money from google doesn’t seem like a valid criticism.

        It is, but I’m pretty sure they have to give all users the choice now in the EU, when you launch first time.

          I think it’s the other way around, Android has to ask you what you want your default browser (and search engine?) to be, but if you choose Firefox, it will still have Google as its default search engine.

          Firefox’s marketshare isn’t big enough to count as a gatekeeper, I don’t think.
