The upcoming version of the open-source Firefox 2 browser will be adding anti-phishing features .
Mike Shaver, a Mozilla expert who developed Firefox, said the " Phishing shield " feature would be able to use Google's anti-phishing technology.
Firefox 2 is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year. Besides this new security feature, Firefox will have a lot of different enhancements mainly about the user interface.
" We all know that phishing is really a headache on the Web today ," Shaver said. " We will add anti-phishing tools to Firefox and Google currently working with us. "
Firefox 2 will have an additional anti-phishing feature that has been confirmed. But what technology will be used to make the final decision still unavailable. " Google as well as many other partners who contribute to the project have provided the source code and experts for us to test. However, we have not decided on a specific direction, using technology. Which partner is often associated with , "Shaver said.
Google has a pretty intimate relationship with Firefox. A year ago, Google recruited Ben Goodger - one of Firefox's leading open source experts. The browser is also available in Google's own and third-party application packages. Google currently has no official comment on this issue.
As the online attacks are growing rapidly, security tools have become a place that browser developers always want to include in their products. Microsoft also plans to add anti-phishing features to Internet Explorer 7. Netscape 8 and Opera 8 launched last year also have this feature.
The first test version of Internetfox 2 is expected to be released later this month. This version will not yet have anti-phishing features.
