So firefox 2 was released
yesterday
, and I've just been browsing through the features
list.
The fact that some of the google toolbar
features
have sneaked in as default functionality doesn't surprise me, for
example the spell
checker from the google plugin is an obvious feature for mozilla to
include in the core.
What surprised me was how the anti phishing feature was just lifted:

This is an excellent example of open source, and it's really good to see google sharing their work , I just hope that anti customize google doesn't sneak in or worse still targeted adversting !
