Firefox removed Yandex search option

The browser is provided for free. Selling search defaults/inclusions is by far the least intrusive way to make money to fund the development of the browser.

Least? Least would be fundraising in Hollywood not selling out default preferences to the highest bidder.

Almost all browsers are free. All major and minor ones are free.

I suspect that if Firefox got most of its funding from Hollywood, it would be even more susceptible to the politics-du-jour. Why do you think high-profile fundraising would make Firefox more independent?

More user friendly browser without sponsored search engine defaults. More Mozilla fluff projects don't have to cross my life path.
