Firefox opts for Google as default search in U.S., surprising Yahoo
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Alphabet Incs (GOOGL.O) Google reclaimed on Tuesday its spot as the default search engine on Mozilla Corps Firefox Internet browser in the United States and other regions as the browser maker stunned Verizon Communication Incs (VZ.N) Yahoo by canceling their deal.FILE PHOTO – The Google logo is pictured atop an office building in Irvine, California, U.S. August 7, 2017. REUTERS/Mike Blake/File PhotoGoogle confirmed the move but declined, along with Mozilla, to disclose revenue-sharing terms of the multiyear agreement. Googles growing spending to be the primary search provider on apps and devices such as Apple Incs (AAPL.O) iPhone has been a major investor concern.Google will be Firefoxs default search provider on desktop and mobile in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and Taiwan, said Denelle Dixon, Mozillas chief business and legal officer.The decision was based on a number of factors including doing whats best for our brand, our effort to provide quality web search and the broader content experience for our users, Dixon said. We believe there are opportunities to work with Oath and Verizon outside of search.

If that’s indeed the case, they must comply with strict legislation.Companies that aim to turn piracy into profit have been in existence for more than a decade but still the controversy around their practices continues.Most, known colloquially as copyright trolls, monitor peer-to-peer networks such as BitTorrent, collecting IP addresses and other data in order to home in on a particular Internet account. From there, ISPs are sued to hand over that particular subscribers personal details. Once theyre obtained, the pressure begins.
