EWOT - The end of Mozilla

Earlier this week, I was listening to a podcast discussing the end of Mozilla Firefox, the browser used in many computers to supplement Internet Explorer for it's fast compact interface and high ordinance on traffic when using the Internet. It is also used as a customizable HUB to add the different add-ons that help you personalize and characterizes what you like when experiencing the internet. Earlier this week, there was an article that mentioned that Mozilla might have no revenue for users using their web browser and they might discontinue the web browser due to the changes of Google. You see, Google as I always saw it, is Skynet. The company controls many of our everyday tools such as our smartphones and the way we research. But since the release of Google Chrome, we would have to switch from our beloved Mozilla to Google's new system since the revenue Mozilla gains from Google will not be sued in their search engine anymore or on the interface Firefox provides. Google maintained a company as strong as Firefox, which to me is surprising because now that Google is capable to compete and gain profit for allowing Google Chrome for users on both Mac and Windows computers, the revenue for the companies are not shared and Google will be capitalizing more and more as weeks go on. It's not a bad change but I found it shocking for a company to pull a wild card on systems that they helped provide and are capitalizing with their own products. Hello Skynet.
