Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker has publicly acknowledged the shortcomings of the Firefox browser company’s partnership with Yahoo, leading to a return to Google as the default search engine for Firefox. The facts of the failed deal came to light as part of the landmark antitrust trial against Google, which maintains a stranglehold on the search engine market.
Mozilla’s financials were significantly impacted by the Yahoo deal, with Yahoo’s annual payment of $375 million surpassing Google’s offer. However, the degradation in service quality prompted Mozilla to revert to Google in 2017. Baker’s own compensation, which includes a portion tied to Mozilla’s revenue, was $2.5 million in 2020, with an increase following the renewal of the agreement with Google.
