Ask HN: Was Mozilla Ever Independent?

This is based on the revelation that Firefox (and I'm assuming Mozilla itself) relies on at least 85-90% of its operating revenue from Google's search deals. For decades now, Mozilla insisted and promoted that it was a non-profit independent organization, and that extended to Firefox. That 85-90% revenue figure is now calling 15-20 years of those statements into question for me.

So let's discuss this: Was Mozilla actually ever as independent as they've claimed? Or were they just a tax dodge for Google?
