From PC World: The Mozilla Foundation is getting most of its revenue from Yahoo, Yandex and Baidu after the end of its large deal with Google last year.
The nonprofit behind the Firefox browser and other software reported its financial results on Wednesday for 2014, the last year for which the lucrative Google deal contributed.
The foundation's total revenue for 2014 was US$329.5 million, close to $15 million more than a year prior.
The Google deal accounted for for 88 percent of its revenue in 2013, or about $275 million. It likely also helped Mozilla's modest growth in 2014.
But since that arrangement ended, Mozilla has made deals with other search providers to be the default engine in its browsers. The largest deals are with Yahoo, Yandex and Baidu, with others including Amazon, eBay and Bing. It also receives donations and grants.
"We will continue to invest in these and other partnerships that allow us to expand our impact on the world," Mozilla said in a FAQ.
