Comments on: Mozilla gets three more years of Google money

Mozilla just got three more years of freedom, paid for by Google.

You say it like Google doesn't benefit from Mozilla. Please remember that theirs was the first browser to include an embedded search box right beside the URL box, and it used Google by default.

Mozilla's rise was quite benefitial (if fundamental) for Google's growth. How big would Google be now if IE were left alone with its close-stadards policies?

It's a very good point, one that I didn't raise because, frankly, I didn't think about it. But I agree that Firefox has been helpful, though not outcome determinative, to Google.

We all love Firefox, and we all love Google, so isn't it great to see them working together!
