What's next A Mozilla+

LOL, I would not be too surprised to see it.  This keeps up, they should re-name themselves Goozilla, or Moogle.

This would be a better choice:  

Yeah Googzilla--and a Moogle is actually a character in some Final Fantasy games. I'll try to find a pic.

Thats a funny name

@ scythe944 : Yeah, they are following

It seems that Google Chrome is threatening them heavily...and I guess they are running out of ideas and they figured out that they should make an OS..

I also read that Google stopped rolling out Google Toolbar for Firefox anymore and the Firebug developer moved on to Google...

And, Firefox is quite stretched at the moment with lots of builds like Nightly, Aurora and Betas....and on top of that, its making addons incompatible as a result...

But I guess, addon developers like NoScript or Adblock have no problem because they work hard

But I wonder who uses Google Toolbar??? I find toolbars ridiculous...

Well, they're not the only ones following either.  IE9 looks surprisingly like Chrome as well.  I just had to laugh a bit the first time I launched it.

IE9 certainly looks different than earlier versions but I don't think it looks much like Chrome at all.

[scythe944]

Really?  I don't want to go more off-topic than we already have here, but I think it looks a lot like chrome.  The single URL bar, the settings in the top right-corner, the tabs... everything screams chrome to me.

I'd look at it again but I'm stuck on an XP machine right now so I can't load them up to compare.

Google on top. - IE9 on the bottom - You judge:

Like I said, very different. The tabs are completely different and the settings menu is too. But, wow Bob, what's with all those Icons in Chrome? Do they make it load slower? I have no favorites bar because I don't like it and there are only 3 icons, including the wrench, to the right of the address bar. One is for Bookmarks menu which I like a lot better than the default way of accessing favorites in Chrome.

You run your browser your way and I'll run it my way.
And no, it's not slowing things down.

Well they copied the idea of the Omnibox from Chrome, that much is evident. But you know what ? They did a good job, IE 9 is great ! I still prefer Chrome though. Has excellent addons and i love the syncing feature.

@Bob: Fix the quote...
