Mozilla's Firefox is essentially the only competitor to Google's Chrome. So to say that Mozilla is pro-google is kind of weird. Almost every other browser uses Chrome's engine, and thus is enforcing Google's view of the internet. Firefox and Safari are the only significant holdouts. (And Safari is obviously backed by one of the largest companies in the world, with its own reasons.)

Yea, it does seem weird.. But money doesn't lie. Its very easy to search online how Mozilla has enough money to lay for all their weird projects.

They even cost cut their nonprofit products like Firefox and Thunderbird so they have more money to burn on other hobbies.

They're like a giant corporate MLM where users are encouraged to sell "privacy" to their friends and the profits syphon up to Mozilla where they cash out to google.
