    Sometimes I feel like believing the conspiracy theory that the heads at mozilla are google flunkies, who only keep the browser around so google can’t be called out for monopolistic behavior with Chrome. Firefox is the only alternative to V8, the Chrome web engine. Safari doesn’t really count

      Also unsure about that, but it is true that Google help fund its development (unless they stopped?), and I would also believe it its just to help themselves.
