Mozilla, which is developing Firefox, has partnered with Google, Yahoo!, and other companies so far to provide users with a more advanced search experience. In Firefox there is a function that you can easily select other than the default search engine by clicking the search bar, but this option leads to breaking the industry standards so far by "refusing commercial exclusivity" That's right. Since then, Firefox has offered multiple choices to allow users to freely search by offering multiple search engines, adding and removing search engines.

As Firefox's default search engine, "Google" has been used all over the world for 10 years since 2004. However, Mozilla finally decided to set the default search engine for each language version to default by breaking the posture to unify the default search engine with "Google" in all language versions.

In addition, Yahoo! and Mozilla have signed a new five-year strategic partnership agreement, and Yahoo! also responds to "Do Not Track" that does not track the Internet browsing trend of Firefox users.
