What? How was Mozilla ever in any kind of OS integrated way in bed with Google?
Google was just the default search engine in their browser. That’s it, and it’s dead easy to change the default search engine in Firefox.
Why are you making a completely false equivalence, to make Mozilla look bad? Also Firefox is open source, so Mozilla even lets you use a fork, with all the functionality of Firefox with whatever you don’t like changed.
That’s what I was saying. Everyone gave Mozilla flack for their deal with Google, and here MS is doing it way, way worse. I actually don’t mind that Google was the default search engine in ff. It made it usable out of the box for the vast majority of users, and the minority had to click two button to change it. Seemples.
OK fair enough, but that’s not what it looked like to me when I read the headline.
I don’t use anything Microsoft, and I use only very few Google things for basic functionality of my phone.
![Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was [in bed with Google]. This timeline sucks.](https://infosec.pub/pictrs/image/773d3464-6a91-414d-8ef7-3f56139f5faa.jpeg){kind=link}
