But I wonder what’s Mozillas reaction will be, especially considering they’re an american company. Is the GDPR region enough of a reason to port their engine, or will they just drop it.
I bet Apple is betting on them dropping it, but I hope not. Saying that as an Android user.
Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it’s ready day 1.
But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app “for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.
I just don’t see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

Non-profits are exempt from this install tax.
I guess this change would work in conjunction with requirements to support sideloading in the EU too.
