> only truly independent browser

Only truly independent browser engine left. Firefox is entirely independent on google, but unlike its competitors this dependency is through direct cash payments.

[Sabinus]

Perhaps the Europeans will end up funding Firefox to get away from American corporate tech dependency. Firefox has tried valiantly to get away from Google money but it's difficult to fund browser development from small donations or without cross-subsidies from other business, like web advertising.
