Currently, Google pays Firefox’s bill by having them set their default search engine to Google.

This will no longer be when Chrome is in the hands of another party. DOJ is currently advocating for this forced sellout.

So will Firefox be no more after that?

    Google search is not the same thing as google Chrome. Search still sees a benefit in paying to be the default search provider in Firefox.

      The main reason of Google’s financing is probably because they don’t want to be accused of a browser monopoly. So this will stop, leaving Firefox with very little income.

      I’m not sure if the reason you said is enough for them to keep paying.
