I love Mozilla, but I’m concerned about its future. Since 80% of its income reportedly comes from the Google search deal, do they have a plan to replace it after the recent ruling? And can they maintain their current level of autonomy while doing so?

The Android version of Firefox still doesn't have working keyboard shortcuts after 13 years or a way to delete individual history items to prevent broken auto complete. The money is going into lots of other things than the browser.

Killing adblocking in Chrome might be a boost they need to attract someone else to pay for being the landing search page. I doubt if anyone will pay as much as google though. Or probably even close.
