Does this mean that analytics will also be blocked? If it is true it will be a shot in the foot, because Google pays a lot of money to Mozilla. Translated automatically.
Firefox/Mozilla is not as reliant on Google anymore as it once was, having diversified which search engine gets set in which area. There would also still be a reason for google to be the default search engine even in a browser that blocks third party trackers by default, namely the original reason of getting users to use your search engine. So I don't see a problem here and I doubt Google would or could force Mozilla to not make that change, even though the business people in Google probably don't like it.
Mozilla released the extension "Facebook Container", which is great, but that's only one of the FANG companies notorious for invading privacy. Where is the "Google Container" extension from Mozilla? There exists such an extension but it's by a third party, not by Mozilla. It would be nice to see it from Mozilla since I trust them more than I trust some random extension developer; I can feel confident in recommending Facebook Container to people but I'd have to keep up on the reputation and ownership of the Google Container extension to feel good about recommending it to others.
I guess what I'm saying is it would be nice for Mozilla to be a bit more bold in demonstrating this independence from Google. It seems to me they still fear/respect Google more than Facebook.
