That might well be why google funds them. I can’t say I mind, and it doesn’t make them more user-unfriendly.

Mozilla or Google?

If Mozilla: Do you think that Mozilla would think of their users' privacy if it meant alienating Google and loosing their money? I'm not picking a side here - I have no idea so I'm just asking.

Yes. One example is tracking protection, which blocks Google Analytics on every FF installation by default.
