with the recent news about the things that were said about Google slowing down Firefox on purpose, are they doing this because they severily dislike Firefox/open source? :c If so, that wouldn't make a lot of sense!!! Because Google loves open source too. I read they were doing this to stop adblockers, and well if you use Firefox without those, it can work maybe! I use Chromium and Google Chrome on Ubuntu ^u^

Google needs Firefox, it is the only web browser with a different rendering enginge than webkit/blink that has any kind of traction, they need the status quo to remain so they have a competitior and can try and disprove any claims of them having a monopoly.

They need Mozilla to be weak and dependant on them, but still be a reasonable alternative in theory, as long as it works as an argument in court, they are fine with it.

The monopolly argument will fall on it's back in court once Mozilla's finances come into question.
