Yes, but imagine the internet without them. Google would have even more power and control

google rose to power with the help of Mozilla

if Mozilla wasn't here we'd probably get a better alternative to chromium

If Google could get more powerful by killing Firefox, wouldn't they just stop funding them?

They can’t. They fund them because it staves off an antitrust case.

And that's why we don't have to imagine the internet without Mozilla. Google already has everything exactly the way they want it
