      Desperate for cash and the money from Google might be going away soon because of the antitrust case? Can’t take them on directly in Search; this honestly seems like one of the better ventures for them to go to. Still, 10 years ago would’ve been better and Mozilla squandered some of the goodwill they had in recent years; I’d be a little more reticent about moving my digital presence over now.
