I am a firefox user. I say with pride and shame.
Proud because I have been loyal to a browser that once a time was a “quiet” option for Internet Explorer.
Shame because I know the world has gone to Chrome.
The irony is that despite my “loyalty” for firefox, it only exists for Chrome.
85% of the revenue ($ 570 million) of the Mozilla Foundation comes from a revenue-sharing agreement with Google, where Mosila takes a part of the advertising revenue generated by Firefox users by Google discoveries.
Google Chrome (and Google Search) has been presented on their hardware devices, paying billions to OEMs like Samsung, Motorola and AT & T to ensure that Arabs pay billions.
This is the value that pays to maintain the major (~ 70%) market share of Google browser.
It was always a plan. During the 2008 launch of Chrome, beautiful pitchi Stated Note that Google’s main occupation depends on the browser market dominating the market.
If Google browser does not control the market, less people are going googly, which means low advertising revenue.
In other words, it all comes down to own the last user.
Now the decades-dominance of chrome may have to face their first serious competitive threat.
Ai-first has a sleep of browsers, especially recently announced CommentThe browser is looking to reinforce the experience.
Based on all the information that our browsers know about us-Hamara History, Bookmark, Credentials, AI-Dhumketu like AI-first browser can become an “active participant” and “embedded” parts of our workflows, Delphi Can Guril told “Browser war became personal.”
If a browser-eminent AI agent can find restaurant reservation for me and can, I do not need Google anymore.
Then, it comes down to be the owner of the final user.
Crypto is no exception to this rule. A similar incident is playing in Solan’s Memcoin land.
Late, the pump is losing market stake for latebonac – putting $ 229 million in trading volume compared to latebonac’s $ 1.1 billion in the last week.
The fall in the revenue of the pump has been observed.
Nevertheless, while order-flow volumes are bouncing between the pump and the latebone, this major trading bot does not affect the revenue of the self-sufficient.
This is because when memecoin is launched on pump or latebone, Digen Traders is in the Front UI of Axiom.
The launchpad bonding curves are permissionless, so Axiom simply sees every new token, finding out that the launchpad came from the contract and creates a purchase/selling button around it.
And traders stick to the axiom for wide suits of pro tools such as integration of advanced charts, wallet trackers and other popular trading products (hyperlicid papers), discounts, etc.
In other words, Axiom – such as Google – owns the user. Whatever launchpad is hot by pointing to any launchpad contract, it mudres.
Whether it is a web search or onchain Digen Trading, the game is the same: the interface that commands the daily habit and captures the final click, captures the money.
