Most of the money straight from Google

This are the first records of the financial details of the new agreement, but extremely important ones. Cooperation with Google, is to developers of Firefox an important source of income. In 2010, the company has recorded 84 percent of its revenue in just a little less than a hundred-million-euro agreement with Google. Before recently came out, that the Google and Mozilla will extend cooperation, there was a speculation that a partnership could be the fact over. Google launched its own browser Chrome three years ago, which is becoming among users increasingly popular and it even has a larger market share than Firefox.
