Nokia Invested In Mozilla?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the dial-m-for-money dept.

Pine UK writes "The Register, is reporting that Nokia has invested in the Mozilla Foundation. This news should come as a shock to Opera, who in recent times have had a very large market share in the area of portable device browsers. Opera has also been the browser choice for Nokia, who ship it with all their Symbian 'smartphones.' Nokia have not yet confirmed nor denied their investment in Mozilla."

    Opera still forces you to look at ads. And if you want the text-only ads you have to give up your privacy to Google. From what I've heard, Google logs all URLs you visit, even the ones you don't want anyone to know about (secret web servers, embedded passwords, etc.). Firefox is for those of us who refuse to lose privacy in exchange for minimal increases in speed.
