The announcement that Google would remove the ability to track people using cookies in its Chrome browser was met with some consternation from advertisers.

        just take a look at vanilla firefox. it’s bloated out the butt. And they get paid by Google to use google as the default engine

          They keep google as default to get that google money. This money allows the foundation to keep functioning. When you have a company to run, you find that ideals about human liberty doesn’t feed your workers families or keep them working. So then your alternatives are to find the money fast, or shut up shop. Im sure that if there were other viable sources of income, Mozilla wouldn’t need to have to suckle on the google teat.

          I’d rather have a firefox I can configure to be as private as possible rather than no firefox.
