90% of Mozilla’s revenue, ca. $500,000,000 comes advertising partnerships (almost exclusively Google)

My point is: it’s not just lifting a finger for advertisers. It’s deception. Defaults matter.

And only a fraction of that money is used for Firefox development. Remember that you can't donate to Firefox (like you can for Thunderbird).
