Which immediately makes me asks which codes Firefox takes from Google

Firefox is dependent on Google financially, not codeually.

Google pays Firefox a lot of money to make it the default search engine. It also takes like three clicks to swap it to DDG or something you prefer. If I were Mozilla/Firefox, I would take the money too lol
