Don't forget though that Yahoo Search runs off Bing.
But for how long? They've reached the mid-point on the Bing deal. Yahoo has been working on two search projects internally. They want to own search once again.
Anyone have any insights into this? From the outside it looks like Mozilla is parting ways with Google because of Chrome. Interesting they went with Yahoo and not Bing.
Although it may seem so from the outside, the whole Firefox vs. Chrome rivalry is blown out of proportion. Many people at Mozilla are happy that there is choice in what browser you can use, instead of the IE monopoly there used to be.
Does this mean Yahoo outbid Google for being the new default search? How much is the deal worth? What about outside the US?
- I hope this strategic partnership does not mean 0 organic search results above the fold. That is what Yahoo is doing at the moment. - I hope FF does not come up with any Yahoo spyware/Toolbars etc.
Search is a weird thing on internet.
Curious - do people here view the Yahoo! Search Experience to be better or worse than Google Search?
This is kind of a moot point. If you read the article carefully, you'll notice that Yahoo will be bringing "a new, re-imagined Yahoo search experience to Firefox users in the U.S"
I wonder if or how Yahoo's "re-imagined" search experience will be affected for non-Firefox users.
UPDATE: Yahoo's press release says their "clean, modern, and immersive search experience that will launch first to Firefox’s U.S. users in December and then to all Yahoo users in early 2015."
The correct link is https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-an... . Seems the link was changed.
This makes me less likely to use Mozilla, but I was already a Chrome or Safari user (despite supporting the Mozilla mission). Seems like a bad decision for Mozilla.
Here's the option to suppress the change - http://i.imgur.com/HwHqQU9.png
More details, Yandex in Russia and Baidu in China, etc.

There was a strong option in place from Google, but Mozilla decided not to go with them as a global default in order to promote choice.
I don't think I follow this argument. Can you explain it further? It feels like Yahoo probably just offered more money.
