Due to lack of Google’s concerns on users’ privacy issues, an executive of Mozilla Firefox browser maker (Asa Dotzler), has encouraged its users to switch to Bing decision engine. Citing a CNBC TV interview last Friday, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said “[Google] do retain this information for some time and it's important…” As Dotzler wrote in his personal blog, “And here's how you can easily switch Firefox's search from Google to Bing…”
The suggestion to switch to Bing may be very costly for Mozilla Firefox company, citing Mozilla's most-recently-released financial statement, as computerworld.com reporting that “…97% of its revenues came from deals it has with Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and others.” According to computerworld.com, Mozilla Firefox still has a multi-year deal with Google which will end in 2011.
