I always wonder why people don't have the courage to mention the elephant in the room - that a very significant part of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google's ability to track Firefox browser users. That, at least, deserves a mention.

Actually that's all anyone seems to talk about, as you can see from the other comments on this story now that it's been a few more minutes.

I on the other hand always wonder why discussions so often degenerate to pointing out who's funding who without considering that, actually, the official explanation may be true. They are funded by Google, but they are not slaves to it. Also, even if their decision was influenced by a will not to offend their money source, their official explanation is reasonable and stands on its own.
