...search engine automatically switched to the Google default – by which Google allegedly pays Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege.

“After careful consideration, we are suspending the use of Yandex Search in Firefox due to credible reports of search results displaying a prevalence of state-sponsored content, which is contrary to the principles of Mozilla,” a Mozilla spokesperson said.

I'm tired of the bullshit from these woke companies. It would be less annoying if they admitted to pointless virtue signaling because they #StandWithUkraine even though this doesn't help Ukraine one bit.

Note that eBay and Amazon are also listed as default search providers. There is apparently nothing against corporate-sponsored content in the principles of Mozilla.

"contrary to the principles of Mozilla"

The relevant principle being that biased search results should have a price tag.

Firefox was bought by Soros. What did you expect?
