The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

You have https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-05-05/why-google-keeps-paying-mozilla-s-firefox-even-as-chrome-dominates (I haven’t read that article because I didn’t allow javascript there or something), and https://www.wired.com/2011/12/why-google-continues-to-fund-firefox/
Not necessarily explicitly supporting the claim made above, but the information is interesting.
