Google is now legally a monopoly. Will Mozilla now stop taking their hush money? (sh.itjust.works)

Just about the title question. Google has now legally been declared a monopoly so they no longer have a reason to be paying Mozilla. And Mozilla never had to slut themselves (and us) for Google in the first place.

Hush money? Google is silencing Mozilla about something?

I understand the desire to shame the practices of these companies, but try not to misuse "slut" as an insult. It's outdated and Puritan-coded.

If this goes through, Google may be forced to not pay Mozilla anymore, which would nuke Mozilla's biggest source of income. This may genuinely cause big problems for Firefox.

Na, the payments were never about monopoly on Firefox it was always about being the default.
