Google pays Firefox to have Google Search as the default search engine. Chrome is not the major money maker. It doesn’t even earn any money.
Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome?
dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks agoThe main reason of Google’s financing is probably because they don’t want to be accused of a browser monopoly.
Google search is not the same thing as google Chrome
I never said that

Neither do the rotisserie chickens at the store. Or Costco’s $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.
Chrome isn’t intended to make money, it’s a loss leader.

It’s a side point, but the costco hotdogs do absolutely turn a profit. $1.50 seems unreasonably low because of how much we’re used to paying for food these days, but its hotdogs and a fountain drink, the cost of ingredients is next to nothing.

It still takes way more than a $1.50 to produce the bun, dog and drink.

Google has been paying Firefox since before Chrome existed.
