A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've seen at least one journalist say that they think so.

Then that's very concerning, because IIRC that is actually Mozilla's largest funding source and losing that could easily threaten Firefox.

It'll be interesting, because Google have spent a lot of money to maintain dominance and no doubt Bing will try and fill the vacuum. Now is a good time for search engine investment. I suspect that Google will try and make some concessions to appease the law. Expect to hear rumours of Chromium and even Android becoming non profits.
