The google annual cost to have Google as default search on iPhone is north of 20b, hence the number in the article headline. They also pay lots to Mozilla and others.
Yup, hundreds of millions to Mozilla.
Also why if this goes through Mozilla and Firefox will both be killed instantly. They're almost entirely funded by Google.
Mozilla could remain funded if they stopped doing things like paying the CEO seven million dollars per year while laying off employees. If Mozilla dies, it will 100% be because of corporate greed.
