I think Google would do a great job on releasinga browser, even if it is based around their products as they have done a great job with the likes of Gmail - hopefully their main services will stay free.

Everything google offers is free so far. If they buy mozilla and make there own browser, I believe they'll charge for it. And people currently using Mozilla will(as you said) have to go to Beta Fox.
Btw, the link you posted didn't work so I got a fresh one; Juicee News. Google to Buy Mozilla? That one should work. Anywhoo. If google bought Mozilla so many people who be angry, I know I would! I love mozilla and google as they are. Plus, I mean google just opened up in China. CHINA GUYS! ...Hard to believe, but they did. And there stock prices SKYROCKED when they did that. I believe if they merged/bought off mozilla those stock prices would drop, just like what happened to Sears and K-mart. (K-Mart was going backrupt so Sears merged, prices went up and then dived down). I really hope they don't buy mozilla. |

QUOTE(TimothyA @ Jul 16 2005, 02:14 AM) Wait....Mozilla Firefox is kind of opensource right.....opensource can't be bought from what I've heard.....that's why linux is still alive. (Evil Micro$oft!)  Heres my understanding of the situation feel free to point and laugh if I am incorrect, but Mozilla is not actually a company its a non profit organisation which co-ordinates the developement of the Firefox web browser which is open source, and therefore cannot be bought. And anyway if Google wanted the Firefox source code they could just go here and get it. But that could possibly be incorrect. Anyway if that happened somepeople somewhere would most likely break away and start again, well they did it before with Netscape, they'll do it again with Google. Plus you can just keep using Firefox 1.0.5 |

Actually, It really isnčt much of a surprise for google to buy out mozilla. Its a famous webrowser (since IE is out of their grasps.)
