            Such as?

            Like, you’re pretty clear about not using Google. The question is, what service exists that is within their ability to pay (free)?

            “They shouldn’t use google” is a fine argument, assuming it’s possible to stop using google without incurring huge fees and/or removing the functionality completely.

              Why assume they won’t pay?

              Even for free they could support something like openphish.com and help it grow and maybe outclass Google.

              The point is that we don’t know the details of their agreement, nor the unwritten rules to guarantee continued support.

                openphish.com would very likely buckle under the load. They’ve had ~2 million urls per day in the past seven days. There are 181 times that many users of Firefox.

                Again, I get where you’re coming from. There’s just literally no viable alternative.

                  Maybe there’s no viable alternative because Firefox users are not supplying the demand.

                  However, rather have the current arrangement than no Firefox. But I suspect that Mozilla are not as free from Google as they would like to be.
