...ok, so now we're lead back to "code sharing" and "conspiracy

them just because you can navigate to Google with them? I still don't
get it.
I remember that the only add-on I've put into SM was to make Google my
default search engine...so somebody got paid and it's built in now?
Google pays Mozilla so much a hit when using Mozilla Browsers.
After the comments that Google Prez said which amounted Google could
care less about Privacy and Security. And Asa comments recommending
Mozilla Users use Bing instead as a result of the comments. That might
end in the future. It was reported in cNet and ZDnet just couple of
weeks ago or so. Basically The Google Big wig said privacy and security
of the information they handle is not their responsibility.
...ok. Now that at least is starting to make some sense...so in
essence, Mozilla is a sub-contractor to Google and fuels it's business
by facilitating it's ability to do business. That I can see...
...and I remember those comments about security and can also see both
sides of that argument - which would be the argument for using SM if it
is more secure than another browser.
A circle-jerk, but some of that type of "bad press" that could benefit
both in the long term. Google would just be sub-contracting it's
security concerns out to the Mozilla-corp to take care of, a savvy user
base would choose it, and Moz-corp keeps ringing the cash
register...incestuous, but profitable.
