Story: Firefox 3 final beta to be released in March

Clarification

Hi Erica,

The way I see it is that Mozilla, Google and others contribute to the blacklist that StopBadware maintains, which is why I wrote:

"Firefox 3 will block web access to sites blacklisted by StopBadware.org, an organisation contributed to by Google and Mozilla, which lists potentially compromised websites."

Mozilla, Google and others each sepearately compile a list of possible compromised sites, they give those lists to StopBadware, you guys collate the list, then Mozilla, Google and others take that blacklist and enforce it.

While you guys also act as negotiators to deal with webmasters who feel their sites should not have been blacklisted, the focus of the article was security in Firefox 3, so I didn't feel that needed to be mentioned.

Best wishes,

Tom
