Ben Goodger, the lead developer on Firefox, announced on his blog today that he is joining Google.
This will only fuel the rumors that Google is developing a browser based on Firefox. Ben writes...
"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."
You can keep an eye on how the press responds here.
