Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO - eviltoast
Mozilla could be “biggest loser” if DOJ wins Google trial, ex-Google exec says.

Curious what people here think about Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker’s statement in Google’s anti-monopoly trial-. She claims that Firefox uses Google as its default search because users prefer it, not because of payments from Google.

    IMO DDG, Yahoo and Bing all sucks when it comes to anything complicated. I can see why general public would be put off by this. If they can’t figure on how to switch Search engines, then don’t really care about any Privacy.

    As a Firefox user I prefer Kagi. Google is the antithesis of everything Firefox is supposed to stand for. That said, Yahoo has always been horrible and, out of the options that ARE available, Yahoo was easily the absolute worst.

    I believe Mozilla’s decision to part ways with Yahoo after the “failed” search deal was a smart move. User trust and satisfaction should always be a priority, and I hope they continue to focus on delivering a top-notch browsing experience to regain lost users.
