Mozilla fears it can be collateral damage in US-Google war

San Francisco: As the US Department of Justice and 11 states take on Google with an anti-trust lawsuit over its alleged anti-competitive practices in the Search and Search advertising markets, open source popular browser Mozilla Firefox has feared it could be collateral damage in this war.

In the lawsuit, the US Justice Department referenced Google’s search agreement with Mozilla as one example of its monopolisation of the search engine market in the US.

“Small and independent companies such as Mozilla thrive by innovating, disrupting and providing users with industry leading features and services in areas like search,” said Mozilla’s chief legal officer Amy Keating.
