Mozilla is “extremely disappointed.”

    Agreed. Those other companies don’t rely on Google for 80% of their income. That’s where the influence occurs.

      Can you point to an example of Mozilla bending the knee, in the slightest, on a subject Google would want them to have a different opinion than normal on?

        why doesn’t Firefox adopt the features of AdBlock Plus and CustomizeGoogle

        Google refuses to fix [a phishing enabling] flaw, as it believes that it is not a problem. Google also operates the Firefox phishing blacklist

          The first explicitly states its conjecture. In reality, it’s much more likely in my mind that Mozilla is not well suited to fast paced changes like the recent YouTube cat and mouse Adblock saga. Imagine if you were waiting not for an extension update, but a browser update.

          The second isn’t even about Mozilla. They rely on Google for the anti phishing list. Is there a free and open alternative? I legitimately can’t find one. I can find paid alternatives, but I doubt users would be willing to pay.

            I believe these are reasonable examples of slightly bending of Mozillas knee to Google, as requested.

              The second one isn’t even Mozilla…

                Mozilla chooses to implement Google’s phishing list.

                  The alternative being?
