Yahoo and Mozilla Form Strategic Partnership

Yahoo search is just rebranded Bing search:<p><a href="http://m.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2329566/marissa-mayer-is-so-over-yahoos-bing-search-deal" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.theinquirer.net&#x2F;inquirer&#x2F;news&#x2F;2329566&#x2F;marissa-mayer...</a>

Considering both Mozilla and Yahoo [1] value privacy rights so much this can only be a good thing.

I think I&#x27;d rather Mozilla developed their own search engine since it&#x27;s such an integral part of the Web now. Google search has immeasurable influence on web sites. As I see it it&#x27;s as important as the layout&#x2F;rendering engine in how we experience the web today. Mozilla using Yahoo&#x27;s search engine is kind of like them using Opera&#x27;s rendering engine. This is especially important as they now have a web-centric OS.

Great business model Yahoo. Pay Microsoft to do the search, pay Mozilla for traffic.

So they’re not getting money from Google anymore?<p>Adblock Plus to be bundled with Firefox in 5, 4, 3, 2…<p>Or, so I dream, anyway. But I’m sure that Yahoo is just as hungry for those tasty ad clicks (with their troublesome privacy implications) as Google is.
