Real, Google, Mozilla Get Together!
Techtree News Staff, Aug 04, 2006 1839 hrs ISTRealNetworks will start offering the Google Toolbar and Mozilla's Firefox Web browser along with its RealPlayer.
RealNetworks, Google, and Mozilla Corp have announced a new multi-year agreement, under which Real will offer the Google Toolbar and Mozilla's Firefox Web browser along with its RealPlayer.
As per the deal, when users install RealPlayer, they will also be given the option to install either the Google Toolbar or Firefox free-of-cost. The Google Toolbar is a very popular addition to a Web browser that allows consumers to quickly conduct a Web search.

Rob Glaser, chairman and chief executive officer, Real, said, "Real and Google share a common passion for innovation that has enhanced the Web experience. The Google Toolbar has been a welcome addition to Real customers, because Google simplifies and enhances how they interact with the Web. We think our customers will feel the same way about the Firefox Web browser."
Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer, Google, said, "Real has been one of Google's most important distribution partners for the past two years, and we are delighted to broaden and deepen that relationship. Google and Real will continue to work together in innovative ways to further improve the Web experience."
Mitchell Baker, chief executive officer, Mozilla Corp, said, "Mozilla is very pleased to partner with global leaders like Google and Real to distribute our award-winning Firefox Web browser. Thanks to our global community of open source contributors, Firefox is making the Web browsing experience better for everyone."
Reportedly, Real distributes more than 2 million pieces of software a day worldwide. In addition, the company has been distributing millions of Google Toolbars for the past two years.
The Google Toolbar and Mozilla Firefox will soon be available options for customers of RealPlayer, Rhapsody music service, and RealArcade games.
