Google Hires Mozilla Firefox Engineer
There has been a lot of speculation the last few months about the possibility that Google may produce its own browser, It is well known that Google has already registered the domain name gbrowser.com Google has hired the lead engineer behind the Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
Matt Hicks for eWeek reports:
Ben Goodger, who helped shepherd the Firefox 1.0 release that has dug into Microsoft Corp.'s browser dominance, joined Google as a full-time employee earlier this month.

What do you think? Will we see a Google browser based on Firefox?
