        They pay Mozilla between 83-86% of their yearly revenue to be the default search engine.

        Edit: here’s an interesting article I found with a quick search. I’m sure there are more.

          Mozilla can’t fail. if it does, chrome will be a monopoly and the law disallows that strictly.

            If that’s why Google is paying them, to keep them alive, then they’re effectively a puppet
