Firefox and Google renew revenue agreement, stick it out for at least three more years

[beer]

There was a moment there, where things were starting to look a bit shaky for Mozilla. With the Firefox creators facing increasing competition from Google, in the form of Chrome, rumor had it that the organization's revenue sharing deal with the search giant had expired and may not be renewed. Well, those rumblings can finally be cast aside as Mozilla announced today that it had signed an agreement with the Mountain View crew that is "significant and mutually beneficial." The three-year revenue sharing deal should help keep Mozilla a float just long enough to permanently put IE under water -- at least we assume that's what the two are hoping for.

Great news indeed. :thumbsup:

This is just like wrestling's Royal Rumble, it's every man for himself but some will tag team the other to throw them out of the ring but in the end they will go head to head. :P

The only competitive advantage IE has is being bundled with the OS, or else we probably won't even have it on our systems. Unfortunately, IE's antitrust agreement agreement expired earlier this year, so that means they can once again make a claim that "IE will break windows if removed."

If Microsoft was a person, we would all like to say this to him/her: Stop wasting time playing with those unfair anti-competitive games and spend more efforts to work on the piece of :shit: browser!
