Firefox ad on Google Homepage

It seems Google is getting serious about Firefox. Internet Explorer users who navigate to Google now find, in addition to the spartan search box and Google logo, an advertisement encouraging them to switch to Firefox with the Google Toolbar. According to the Spread Firefox website, Firefox is the first third-party product ever featured on the prime real estate of the Google homepage. Google has also been promoting Firefox using its adsense program, where affiliates get one dollar for every firefox download through their sites.

There has been a lot of press on this over the past couple of days. I didn't see it myself but I think it was an awesome gesture from Google. Google has publicly shown their support for Firefox and they even used it during the Keynote at the 2006 CES.

Great stuff.
