If anyone else was confused by the typo, difficult > default.

I'm not sure what to think. On one hand, yes, Google is of course slimy. But if Mozilla loses it's big source of funding (and crumbles as a result), that may put things in a worse place?

Then again, it's a shame that the only major competing browser engine is funded by the dominant browser's company. Maybe Mozilla can be fine without it?

The one good thing I could think of is that Firefox could come under new management. But then again, how that management will be funded I don't know. Likely they will run in to the same problem as Mozilla.
