Honestly I don't see this conversation going much differently if Chrome was it's own company. Like Apple and Mozilla, Chrome would get paid based on how many queries it sent to Google, then they do a launch that reduces queries and their revenue arm would say "whoa whoa whoa are you sure this benefit is worth this level of revenue hit?"

Mozilla doesn’t JUST make money from searches. So why would chrome?

In fact, Mozilla has been trying to reduce its dependence on Google for awhile now. I think it’s down to around ~80% of their revenue, IIRC. If Google were to stop, Bing would jump on that in a heartbeat.

80% is still ridiculously dependent and the GP point stands

Apple is definitely not paid by search sent to google, it’s a bulk amount for the whole year. And we can tell that safari just doesn’t prioritize past google searches in the omnibar the same way that chrome does.
