The deal was originally going to expire in 2006, but was later extended to 2008 and will now run through ...Shared by Aaron (6) Adam McDonald (30) Al Salmon (16) Alex (17) Alex (31) Alex France (139) angel (253) Archit T (16) AshTR (25) b3cak (10) Ben S (40) Brad Brown Jr. (18) Brandon (39) Bret Taylor (14) Bryan (8) Bryce (6) Cam (17) Chad Smith (28) cheflove (239) Chris Messina (21) Christopher W.

Because the search giant accounts for 85% of its revenues, Mozilla has become almost totally reliant on Google, something that has apparently concerned a number of members in the open source community. But Mozilla maintains that the two organizations operate independently.”
