Could Mozilla or Firefox be the Downfall of Google ? I mean think if Firefox decides to use it’s own systems for stopping phishing, the data that Google so wants would be housed on Firefox servers and if those servers stored user information Firefox could offer you websites that your community matches. It would not take long for Firefox to work out what’s popular and what’s not.
Take Threadwatch, I read the same places Aaron does. Because we are in the same community there will be a small overlap of things I have found or Aaron has found in our travels. What if I could access the overlaps and other people over laps. Now if I could search those overlaps as well .. Hmmm I don’t need Google or Microsoft.
The way I see it at the moment, Google is beating Microsoft in my office.. WE ALL USE FIREFOX !! that’s our interface to the outside world .. ok we use the built in search box and that has Google, Yahoo and MSN, but if Firefox got rid of that and replaced it with it’s own SEARCH FUNCTION.. How much would that hurt Google and Yahoo.
It wasn’t so long ago that Google was bitching about IE7’s search box, I think that Firefox could really give Google a run for it’s money ..
