Mozilla and Google have extended a search deal through 2011, providing some financial security to the backer of the open source Firefox Web browser.
Rumours flew around the Web on Tuesday about Google's potential plans to release a Web browser.
Mozilla CEO John Lilly today waxed philosophical about the release of Google's new Web browser, Chrome, despite it signalling an attempt by the search giant (Mozilla's major financier) to become its biggest competitor.
Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari web browsers have continued to steal market share from their much larger rivals Internet Explorer and Firefox over the past six months, according to internal ZDNet.com.au statistics.
Google yesterday in the US said it planned to develop an add-ons system for its new Chrome browser, similar to the functionality that can be found in rival Mozilla Firefox.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
IE may be the quickest browser to load pages, but this is not a 100m dash; seems like someone has forgotten to tell Microsoft that there is another 300m of JavaScript to go until this race is over.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm drinking the Google Kool-Aid here, but I have switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome as my default browser for the very reason Google's executives said we should: speed.

The internet has exploded in a single, joyous, mass-hallucination called Chrome. Apparently it's the fastest browser ever and will solve a myriad of problems from slowness within Google Spreadsheet to possibly creating an acceptable carbon trading scheme.
Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor.
Microsoft's minimal attention to its Internet Explorer browser used to be a boon for some developers. But now it's starting to hurt.
When Google introduced a Web browser earlier this fall, the debut was accompanied by much expectation as well as by much skepticism. But Chrome is starting to win over more converts -- including CNET News' Stephen Shankland, who explains why on today's CNET News Daily Debrief with Charles Cooper.
Brendan Eich, CTO of Mozilla, talks about the race for the fastest browser engine. Google, Microsoft and Apple are all competing with Mozilla. The competition, he says, is good for users and developers.
At the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Fla., Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer talks to Gartner research analysts, Yvonne Genovese and David Mitchell Smith about the company's strategy regarding software as a service, or SaaS, as well as its competition with Google in the office productivity and advertising markets.
In a Super Techies interview, Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich talks to ZDNet Editor in Chief Dan Farber about his career as a programmer in Silicon Valley.
