Lead Firefox developer jumps ship to Google
Lead Firefox developer jumps ship to Google

Ben Goodger, lead software engineer on the team developing the Firefox web browser, has jumped the Mozilla ship and defected to Google.

Reporting in his blog Goodger said that leaving Mozilla and joining the search engine giant would not materially affect the amount of time he spends working on the browser.

Although Goodger remained tight-lipped about any wider ramifications of his move to Google, the development has fuelled ongoing speculation that Google is working to develop its own browser.

Rumours began spreading last year after references to 'Gbrowser' were found coded into various Google applications.

1. Gawd, if I had the opportunity I'd jump to Google too
From what I've seen it's the ultimate in kick-ass workplaces. The cafeteria is free!
