Firefox Pushed on Google Homepage? (View post)Ionut Alex. Chitu | Wednesday, April 26, 2006 18 years ago • 5,292 views |
It looks horrible. And it's not quite a 3rd party product: Google doesn't you to just download Firefox, you have to download Firefox + GT. |

It's not pretty, but it's live. IE 5,5.5,6 It doesn't show with Avant in the user-agent, though. |

I'm loving it!
More firefox users == more (standard) compliant websites == more choice == more innovation. |

Yup, it's there.
Can't put their own products on the home page, but they can put someone else's. /snark |

I have emailed philipp one like this .
It was concerning the New Explorer 7 and firefox |
Adam B. | 18 years ago # |
Nah, I don't use IE, just used it to check if it was there.
I wonder what the click-through rate actually is on those ads. I really hate to see a cluttered Google homepage. That box reminds me of Yahoo tactics... |

If you look at the picture on the spreadfirefox's website, there is three tabs open in firefox. The other two are microsoft's. Interesting. :) |

Confirmed from Colorado, US (using Comcast Cable) – I saw this yesterday and wondered what was up. |

BTW, haven't seen this mentioned yet ... but IMHO, a strong shot across Microsoft's bow in the browser wars ... |
