>Proposals in US vs. Google threaten vital role of independent browsers

That's a creative way to put it considering there is only one independent browser (singular) that's being harmed by this. A more straightforward title world be `Proposals in US vs. Google threaten the only viable independent browser maker left`



Hmm I think two, since Google pays (paid) Apple to be the default search engine on iOS, it could’ve been said that WebKit and Safari development might have been partially financed with this money.

But I guess that falls apart when we treat Safari as dependent on Apple, which it is.


It also harms any other browsers based on the gecko engine.

Opera also has a search deal with Google.
