with the recent news about the things that were said about Google slowing down Firefox on purpose, are they doing this because they severily dislike Firefox/open source? :c If so, that wouldn’t make a lot of sense!!! Because Google loves open source too. I read they were doing this to stop adblockers, and well if you use Firefox without those, it can work maybe! I use Chromium and Google Chrome on Ubuntu u
Google loves open source when it suits their agenda.
For example, they created an entire OS almost from scratch. It cost them billions and the vast majority of it was open source, so people would be enticed to get onboard the Android ecosystem.
Now that Google has a virtual monopoly with Android, look at the state of AOSP: it’s a shell of its former self. Most of what’s left in it is becoming old and stale, because Google is quietly replacing the open-source bits that are now an inconvenience to them with their proprietary, more up-to-date counterparts.
Not to mention it’s practically impossible to get rid of the Google code in it… Android is so deeply tied with Google, almost no one dares to tackle that code and degoogle it.

Could you elaborate what Google Code is for example in GrapheneOS?
That’s not the same as an ungoogled fork of Android, is it.
