No-one. And that is exactly right :-) How many times? Mozilla isn't an
end-user product, and so doesn't need a marketing department. Netscape has
an _enormous_ marketing department, who I am sure are even now putting the
finishing touches to the world domination plan.

On the other hand, as an ISP, you can customise the browser from here to
Christmas - use your own logo graphics, set your portal as the start page,
add your own sidebars etc. etc. ISPs _love_ this sort of branding - just
see how many modify and bundle IE.
