    Over 85% of Mozilla’s income comes from their Google search deal. Google is keeping Mozilla alive to prevent antitrust issues. If Mozilla rocks the boat too much, Google will fund a more obedient alternative.

      So your answer to “Google is evil use another browser” is… if we all swap to Firefox google will kill it?

      Google is keeping Firefox alive because 5% of all web users using Google search by default is pretty useful for them.

      If you want to avoid that, simply use firefox and set your search to DuckDuckGo/Bing. If Google drops them, Microsoft have already shown a want to step up into that position.
