    Google funds Mozilla by paying to be Firefox’s default search engine

    Google funds Mozilla primarily to avoid the exact kind of legislation in this post; monopolies.

    Google can point at Firefox and say “look, not only are there alternative browsers anyone can install, but we funded the independent development of that browser”.

    Not to mention all the Chromium-based browsers.
