Agreed. Mozilla has problems, but bleeding funds from Google to fund their competition has a satisfaction factor. I'd rather sign a petition to keep the Google daddy fund going until the very end.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee.

With less than 3% marketshare, Mozilla doesn't exist now for most people --- mainly just for Google.

Regardless of whether people know it exists, the world where it exists is much better than a world where it doesn't and there is only one option.

So open source doesn't work?

Alternative browsers are available based on Firefox source code. The same is true with Chromium.

Sure, but they would all cease to exist if Firefox or Chrome ceased to exist or even ceased to be worked on because they don't have the labour to keep their project going without the parent projects doing most of the work.
