Firefox Pushes Google Away In Russia

1 views

Google may be used to seeing its market share climb, but it looks like the search giant is getting kicked down a rung or two in one country.  Mozilla has decided to make Yandex, and not Google, the default search provider in future Russian versions of Firefox.

rough patch between Google and Mozilla may really have had nothing to do with the development.

In other Russia-related news, then, President Medvedev has taken the interesting step of opening his video blog up to comments.  According to RIA Novosti, Medvedev said he'd "read all of them with great interest," and while would-be commenters will have to register and avoid hateful stuff, no overt censorship is taking place.

It'll be interesting to see how both of these things work out over the next few months.
