Why Google Needs Firefox

[Mr Happy]

it’s (Bing) also gaining significant traction both in the US and worldwide territories.

Microsoft has spent billions on scraping away just a few percent of Google’s massive share to land itself with under 4% of the global search market.

Sorta contradicting itself the article saying it's gaining significant traction when it's just "scraping away" a small amount at Google.

With the exception of 0.02% (piratically nothing) Bing is growing due to the fall of Yahoo which is bought so it's pointless. Their's rumors of Microsoft SELLING Bing. Ya that's right. Bing is costing so much money and doing so poor their's talk of selling it.

Anyway Google will have a MASSIVE bargaining chip in November as it's in November that Google Chrome is expected to pass FireFox and become the worlds second largest browser and it's quickly closing in on IE's number one spot. I still thing Google will pay but it's not as important as FireFox numbers are dropping very fast globally in the last few months.

I don't see why Google wouldn't renew the contract, Chrome is going to take Firefox's spot eventually anyway... Rating: 5
