Two aspects of Mozilla’s close ties with Google over development of the Firefox browser have Chris Soghoian concerned about a conflict of interest in play.

A recent update to the Firefox browser kept some AdSense publishers from being able to log in to their accounts.

Graphical banner ads have become the panhandlers of the Internet: very few people look at them anymore even if ads are right in front of them.

Apparently, users of the popular Firefox extension AdBlock, which stops advertisements from being displayed in the browser, does not play nice with the newly announced Gmail Chat feature.
