In 2023, Mozilla relies heavily on royalties from Google and other search providers, making about 75% of its revenue from these payments. The US Justice Department has proposed remedies to address Google's monopolistic practices in search, which includes banning these payments to browser makers. Mozilla expresses concern that this prohibition could threaten its operations and diminish competition, as it fears that such measures could benefit larger corporations while harming smaller, independent browsers that promote user privacy and choice.
These proposed remedies prohibiting search payments to small and independent browsers miss the bigger picture - and the people who will suffer most are everyday internet users.
Independent browsers like Firefox are on the frontlines of protecting consumer privacy, driving browser innovation, and giving people real choice on how they experience the web.
