Google hires another Mozilla Firefox Developer

Google might not be admitting to it, but it has left no signs into making us believe that it is indeed working on the speculated Google Browser (TechWhack predicted it way back in May!). It all began with their buying the domain GBrowser.com and some high profile hirings from the browser market. And they recently hired one of the major developers of the Mozilla Firefox team, Ben Goodger.

The latest news in is that another developer of the Firefox browser has been picked up by Google. Darin Fisher is a Mozilla Developer who works on the cookies and permissions part of the much in news Open Source Browser. He also is part of the team, which develops the portable run-time code. Similar to Ben, he also announced about his new job on his personal Blog.

Darin said: “I have joined Google as well. Like Ben, I will still be very much involved with the Mozilla project and community.” Google on their part have confirmed that like with Ben, Darin’s work on Mozilla Firefox should remain unaffected by his new job. It is quite clear that Google is interested somewhat in supporting and large-scale development of the Open Source Browser Firefox, which has hit the market ratio of rival’s Microsoft Internet Explorer quite much in the recent days.

The fact remains, how much Google deny it… It is definitely interested in what is cooking up in the Firefox Browser and might just do what we the media have been speculating for such a long time. It would be good to see a Google browser with integrated Google related services considering it has become an important part of anyone’s daily routine whose work revolves round the Internet.
