Google's rejection of web standards and attempts to put in their own standards is half of what breaks shit anyway.

I'm glad they're working with the G Workspace team, but Holy Hell, it's been clear for a long time that Google, the company, isn't a friend to Firefox, even if individual developers are.

They mainly pay for top search spot in Firefox as a bulwark against claims of monopolization.
