Mozilla antitrust loss with Google

Χθες, το Υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών υπέβαλε μια αγωγή κατά της μονοπωλιακής στρατηγικής της Google, κατηγορώντας την εταιρεία για πρακτικές που την βοηθούν να διατηρήσει τη δεσπόζουσα θέση της στην αγορά .

Among the practices cited in the case is the fact that Google to use it as default αναζήτησης σε ορισμένες συσκευές και προthe , such as Mozilla Firefox.

In response to the lawsuit, Mozilla issued a statement about the allegations. The blog post opens by saying that Mozilla believes that controlling these practices is important to “ of a better Internet".

However, it states that an agreement between Google and Mozilla allows the use of the search engine in Firefox. According to Mozilla, the lawsuit should not cause collateral damage to smaller and independent companies.

In August, Mozilla and Google renewed their search engine agreement, which ZDNet estimates is valued at between $ 400 million and $ 450 million. This happened shortly after the announcement of Mozilla that it will lay off 250 employees as part of a corporate restructuring, so it is obvious that Mozilla relies heavily on the funding it receives from Google because of this agreement.

Mozilla says it is still considering the details of the lawsuit and will release case updates when it has more information.

It will be interesting to see if and how the lawsuit will be able to protect the interests of smaller companies such as Mozilla, while at the same time stopping Google's monopoly practices.
