Granted, but because of the way Mozilla works, and competition fighting based on branding, the less Google seen, the better - funding from other companies is very likely if they want to make sure the Google brand doesn't take over the Browsing arena - which connects to the obvious relevence - the Internet. Yahoo should be afraid this move.

Often, that is not the case at all with Google - since GMail was rolled out, there have been code improvements, but features? *shakes head

A Beta to Google is to what it is to Mozilla - a pre-RC.
