They pay Mozilla between 83-86% of their yearly revenue to be the default search engine.

That’s where basically all Mozilla’s funding comes from.

If Google decides they want their competition gone, they just turn off the money pipe. They are at their mercy.

Edit: here’s an interesting article I found with a quick search. I’m sure there are more.

Mozilla can’t fail. if it does, chrome will be a monopoly and the law disallows that strictly.
