They get paid many millions by Google for having Google as the default search, ironically.

It was once a fortune but no longer is as they don't have many users to send to Google.

In recent years they've been trying to find alternate income streams, most recently re-branded mullvad VPN. None of them have worked. There's been a lot of criticism, it's not simple but the case can be made that they have squandered their wealth.
