Firefox is kept alive by Google default search money AFAIK otherwise why don't they sue google for showing different search results page in firefox

It’s sad. Google basically owns the internet

I don't believe this has been the case for years?

It's still the case, at least for Firefox on Android

They do have an extension that forces the new search results page, but I've noticed it freezes the browser if I tap on an image result, so I have it disabled.

I completely forgot I had added that extension (back when Google actually looked ugly on Firefox on Android without it) just disabled and oh my god not only does it not freeze it actually feels usable again (I hate the weird AI suggested tabs at the top in the chromium UI).
