β It's unclear whether Bing or DuckDuckGo could even match a quarter of that. π οΈ Mozilla needs significant funding to maintain Gecko, one of just three major browser engines still in active use worldwide.π Gecko helps keep the web open and competitive.π Cancelling Googleβs deal with Mozilla would reduce Google's U.S. search engine market share by less than 0.75%.π€ Is that really worth the cost?
