Indeed. It would be even better (and noble) if they mentioned Chrome by name somewhere.

  That's absurd. Why would anyone publish a list of upcoming features and then mention which competitor they're borrowing them from?

    It's certainly not unheard of in the open source world to say that you've been inspired by another project. I recently watched an official video by Googlers about the Chrome extensions, and they mention Firefox by name many times.

      Yup, even on chrome blog, on recent videos they have mentioned webkit/safari/apple contributions several times.

        That's not an accurate comparison. That's an improvement to the rendering engine that's shared between them. They all have the feature. It's a different story when you're talking about a feature you're planning to implement and then mention the competitor who already has it. It's just plain stupid.

      Yes, but, unlike some open source projects, Mozilla is out to make money from the project and their income is generated almost exclusively through a search deal with this particular competitor.
