Google has a secret deal with FB called “Jedi Blue” that they knew was illegal

Can a campaign like Mozilla did to promote firefox when ie6 was a monopoly work?

Promote a different browser when someone uses chrome with the possibility to get explanations about it. Contacting admins of sites that only works in chrome, this kind of thing.

Could this information be used to try to push chromium based browser like brave and edge to switch to another engine, lowering the influence of google on the web?

This will not adress the whole google service spectrum but chrome is the trojan horse for a lot of google strategies.

It's extremely hard to out-campaign Chrome's campaign of being pushed via google.com and youtube.com, unfortunately.

Though I'd like to see Mozilla try more promotion channels like video sponsorships, maybe go heavier in regions where Google is not as dominant as in the US…

Yes; it worked. somehow, they blew the goodwill away.

/me still a Firefox user. I'll fly away if something better comes along - FF is very much a compromise.

I'm with you on that, still a Firefox user as well but I'm not a fan of a lot of Mozilla's decisions. I still trust them more than Google though.
