The Browser Wars

Yesterday Ben Goodger, the lead engineer for Mozilla Firefox, has announced that he will be joining Google, Inc.. Of course, in his blog entry he doesn’t disclose the nature of his job at Google.

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.

Okay, we know that MS Internet Explorer tends to route folks to MSN and it's search engine, so isn't this a logical move by Google to protect (and perhaps gain) it's turf?

Google is already built in to firefox, so I guess what's done is done.

Or... he already had a plan in mind (to move) when he built GOOGLE in to FIREFOX. Smart move for him either way.
