John Lilly, Mozilla’s CEO, writes, “Interesting developments in the browser world lately. Between the new beta of IE8 and Google releasing the beta of their new browser (called “Chrome”), not to mention interesting work by the Mozilla team here as well, there’s as much happening as I can ever remember.

Competition often results in innovation of one sort of another — in the browser you can see that this is true in spades this year, with huge JavaScript performance increases, security process advances, and user interface breakthroughs. I’d expect that to continue now that Google has thrown their hat in the ring.” Lilly goes on to discuss how the release of Google’s “Chrome” project affects Mozilla, and what it means for Mozilla’s relationship with Google.
