Rumours surround Google browser

The net is buzzing with rumours that Google is working on a web browser.
Online journals, or weblogs, have put together a series of developments which suggest that the search engine is developing new web tools.

A US newspaper has also reported that Google has poached former Microsoft workers who created early versions of the Internet Explorer browser.

Google declined to comment on the online reports and said it had announced no plans in this area.

New tools

Speculation about the Google browser has intensified following a news story in the New York Post.

The story said that four people who worked on Microsoft's web browser have recently been recruited to work at Google.

One of the new recruits to Google, Adam Bosworth, is thought to have had a pivotal role in the development of Internet Explorer.

Also now working for Google is Joe Beda who was on the team working on Avalon, the interface system for Longhorn which will be the next version of Microsoft's operating system.

The real question is will is be based on IE or will it be entirely seperate. And how many spywares am I goin to have to greenlight to use it.

it would be entirely independant of IE.

meanwhile, longhorn without winfs makes me sad.

That'd be awesome.

Finally convinced my dad to start switching from Road runner email to Gmail judt last night, so this seems like the next logical step.

I hate it.

Martyr thinks I'm stupid that I'm sticking to IE (well, Avant). I can appreciate all the safety that comes with an alternate browser, but no thanks. I hate FireFox.

Yeah, I don't like it either, never liked Netscape, not Opera...

I use Advanced Browser, not as...pimped out as most alternative browsers.

I wonder if the Google browser will have thier distributed computing client embedded? I wouldn't be surprised if the government leased processing time from them. All sorts of black-helicopter shit.

I hate FireFox.I agree .. with all the talks of various browsers in use a month or so ago, I downloaded them and tried the latest releases. I still don't care for the Mozilla engine/style whatever. I do like what they're doing .. just don't like the feel. I did settle with Avant though and other than adjusting some old habits .. CTRL+O .. it's working great. :p
