Interview with Firefox Founder and Creator Blake Ross

Below are the answers to the questions some of you submitted a little while ago for Blake Ross, the founder and creator of Mozilla Firefox.

 

As Opera users we owe a lot of credit to Firefox for successfully bringing more awareness to alternative browsers. We benefited a great deal from it by having less compatibility issues with broken webpages.

 

There is much work to be done to bring the Firefox and Opera communities closer, there’s no need for the trolling and bickering among our fans. We both make fantastic browsers, strive for standards compliance, and have security as our number one goal.

 

Hopefully this interview will show the best of what our communities have to offer. I’d like to personally ask to keep the trolling away – let’s set an example here.

...the founder and creator of Mozilla Firefox.
Makes it sound like a one-man show! :o

 

What about all the other Firefox developers, they're creators too! What about the Gecko developers and leaders? What about the Mozilla guys who formed the codebase, and the Netscape guys before them? It surprises me to see just one guy's name up there as "founder and creator".

When they say "creator and founder" they mean the guy who started it. It's pretty common to refer to the person who started a project as the "creator and founder". it doesn't imply a one man show, it just implies it was his idea...no need to go splitting hairs, it's the title of an article.
