The Popular Chrome, Google will kick-ons?

Cooperative relationship between Google and Mozilla are reportedly not in harmony. Rumors are circulating explaining that Google was thinking not to renew contracts with Mozilla.

Quoting Computerworld, the cooperation between the two search engines offer this form of ads placed on search engine pages. If Internet users are using Firefox click on the page ads in the Google search engine, Google will pay to Mozilla on the ad. Return Instead, Google became the default browser in Firefox.

The problem is, Google and Mozilla's contract expired last November 2011. If Google does not extend such cooperation, the Mozilla likely lose about 80 percent of its revenue on the advertising business. Until now there has been no official statement from the Mozilla, either about the existence and continuity of the cooperation contract.

"We are still working with several other search engines of different markets, including the big search engine companies, like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex, Amazon, eBay, and others," Mozilla spokesman said via e-mail.

However, a spokesman for Mozilla is still convinced that cooperation will continue to run this business because such cooperation will be "producing machine" money for Mozilla.

Ever since Google launched its own browser, Google Chrome in September 2008, revenue from business cooperation Mozilla is declining. In 2008, these businesses generate 88 percent of Mozilla's total revenue. In 2009 declined to 86 percent and in 2010 again fell to 84 percent. If Google does not renew his contract in 2010, Mozilla's revenue was only 19.7 million U.S. dollars.

Mozilla and Google begin a relationship is not harmonious as evidenced by the results of calculation of StatCounter institutions that Google Chrome's market share reached 25.7 percent and 25.2 percent Mozilla Firefox only. While calculating Net Applications institutions reached 18.2 percent of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox reached 22.1 percent.

From the results of StatCounter, Chrome has proven that beyond Firefox, came in second place after Internet Explorer. While Net Applications institutions would be acquired by Chrome in April or May 2012.
