I thought Mozilla London was the centre of Europe?

Good to see the big names promoting innovation and technology in Europe. I use to be a Mozilla fan but am now google heavy. Maybe it is time to come back?

Technically, Mozilla Denmark is the highest level subsididary in Europe, so all offices in Europe are offices of that Mozilla Denmark (it says it on the Mozilla Paris office, it's pretty funny) - but it's much more metaphorical than official. It's a matter of where will European Mozillians go to meet up, work together, etc. I don't think London has that appeal; most non-UK Europeans don't consider London to really be Europe - hell, Londoners don't consider themselves to be european.

I'm considering going back to the Mozilla camp. Google has not been acting very nicely recently (Firefox is not a "modern browser"), and I'd rather not rely on them for browsing. Or, heck, email, I think I'll leave Gmail too.
