If Firefox dies, Google will have to align much more money in legal battle and may still end up losing.\n\nIn addition Firefox will not die if Google stops paying: it’s open source and it will simply develop much slower and likely cut on some of its services.",

Google will has a monopoly. They make the phone, the OS, the search engine and steer the traffic to their services and earn them ads.Throw in YouTube and you have a total monopoly over the flow of the Internet. Google is *this* close to being under fire from the government but Firefox is their saving grace. All they need to do is to low advertise Firefox as an alternate and the trail is off",
