    Isn't it the same with Firefox? Except, well, Google didn't have to pay for it.

    You're kidding, right? One of the main reasons for the search bar in Firefox is the money that Mozilla's partners (e.g Google) pay to be convieniently and visibly embedded in your UI. Our eyeballs pay Mozilla's wage bill.

    (For the more defensive types out there, note that this isn't a negative criticism).
