• Search case update: The remedies phase of the U.S. v. Google LLC search case ended last week. Mozilla is concerned about the unintended consequences of proposed remedies and asks the Court to consider them.
• Mozilla's support for competition: Mozilla has long advocated for competition interventions in tech markets through various campaigns and reports.
• Message in the Google Search case: Search competition should improve without harming browser competition.
• About Firefox and Gecko: Mozilla is the maker of Firefox and Gecko, the only major browser engine competing with Big Tech. It has spent decades fighting for an open internet and Firefox offers diverse search choices.
• Impact of banning search payments: Banning search payments to independent browsers would harm Firefox and Gecko's survival, as Mozilla depends on such revenue. It would also not significantly improve search competition as independent browsers' market share is small.
• Call for a tailored approach: Mozilla believes a more tailored approach to remedies is crucial. The Court should allow independent browsers like Firefox to receive revenue share payments from Google to avoid harming competition. Read the full amicus brief for more.
