Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.
Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.
We do, however, require that you:
- Do not post anything pornographic.
- Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
- Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
- Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

From
here.
the vast majority of revenue comes from “Royalties” ($527 Million), with advertising and subscriptions ($56 Million) and Contributions ($7 Million) as the next two largest line items.
“Approximately 83% and 86% of Mozilla’s revenues from customers with contracts were derived from one customer for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Receivables from that one customer represented 69% and 73% of the December 31, 2021 and 2020 outstanding receivables, respectively.”
In other words: The vast majority (roughly 70%) of all of Mozilla’s yearly revenue comes from default search engine placement of just one customer.
That customer, while not named in the report, is obviously Google (and parent company, Alphabet).
Without that revenue, Mozilla could not continue to operate at their current level of expenditure without eating into their assets.
