| | Everyone has been speculating, but will Google finally make the move to purchase Mozilla's FireFox?
Some say Google is secretly developing its own browser, but why
would it? Google is a constant "plug" for FireFox and everything it offers
Since the pre-1.0 stages of FireFox, Google's Gmail - have supported (and in some cases, required) the use of Firefox. Since March 30, 2005 the Google search engine has utilized the link prefetching feature of Firefox for faster searching.

Hmm.. I still prefer my Firefox.  Really, even if Google buys Mozilla (something that would surely rock the news out..), would that be the best option? I mean Mozilla is doing a great job in updating and developing new features for Firefox, and I don't see that is *required* that Google buys Mozilla, and with that Firefox. Now if everything would stay the same, and Google would sponsor Firefox to make it more popular than the buggy IE, then I don't have any problem with it.

Gah, I never even noticed all that! But I like Firefox the way it is, so I don't see why Mozilla'd let Google buy it over. >_< Google is Google, Firefox is Firefox!!

Well, if Google does buy Mozilla, then that means that we will have a Firefox Beta for months. Also, your link for the source does not work.

I wouldn't download and use the so-called 'G-Browser' as it would be biased towards Google. Like Micro$oft now encourage people to install the MSN toolbar, Google would probably bundle the Google toolbar into their browser. Would it conform to standards? And if so, which ones? If Google bought out Mozilla it would be a downwards spiral. What browsers would be left???

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
