Google Hires Top Firefox Programmer

Posted by Eric at 5:25 pm. Filed under: General

Check out this Reuters story:

Web search company Google has hired the lead engineer of the Firefox Web browser, fueling speculation that Google will create its own version of Firefox to take on Microsoft’s dominant Internet Explorer.

Get Firefox here, or read about it gaining market share on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

UPDATE: Just found Ben Goodger’s blog. He states:

As of January 10, 2005, my source of income changed from The Mozilla Foundation to Google, Inc. of Mountain View, California. My role with Firefox and the Mozilla project will remain largely unchanged, I will continue doing much the same work as I have described above - with the new goal of successful 1.1, 1.5 and 2.0 releases. I remain devoted full-time to the advancement of Firefox, the Mozilla platform and web browsing in general. I’m sure you have many questions. While I will be spending more time at Google, I will work out of the Mozilla Foundation offices regularly as the need arises. For all questions regarding Google, I ask that you contact Google directly, rather than myself.
