There had better be a VERY compelling reason to use a Google browser instead of Firefox. |

| Could be a FireFox/Google XUL application
Google might simply see FireFox as an up-and-coming browser and want to get their foot in the door developing applications to take advantage of it. For example, you can code XUL applications that FireFox can run. These don't look like traditional webpages and can have additional features that would be hard to match in a normal website. Google might be interested in exploring these options for the future. I really doubt that Google will come out with their own browser.

Re: Googlefox
What do you mean "instead of" It seems as though Google's browser would most likely be Firefox + some extra Google-oriented features like GMAIL. Might as well start calling this project "Goo-Fox"

We are witnessing web-history unfold as Google positions itself to be an indispensible part of the internet as we know it. A browser for Google? I think that's almost too easy... that's like Mercedes saying they're going to start making mudflaps. As with Mercedes, Google's all about the engine... a gbrowser would only serve as an accessory. |

Google places ad for IT people....Google is going to be a ISP !!!!!!
Google places ad for Developer...Google is making a browser !!!!!
Google places ad for janitor...Google is going to be in the maintenance biz !!!!!
I guess this all good for the speculating press and those who want google stock so bad so they might cleanse themselves of the horror of all those "other" tech stocks that were a "sure" thing

Re: OmniGoogle -- GoogleWorld
FO-GOOGLE!
I see them intergrating so much to the browser that the new browser will end up hogging memory PC. As it is, Firefox uses more resources that IE.
But then again, who knows. Standing by..... |

»www.reuters.com/audi/newsArticle···=7422837
"Ben Goodger said in a note on his Web site -- »:/weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/ -- that he would continue to work on Firefox, a free browser that has gained a popular following due to additional features and fewer attacks from malicious hackers than Internet Explorer.
Internet cognoscenti have speculated about a Google browser since the company registered the Gbrowser.com domain and hired several Internet Explorer engineers last year."
Uh, IE *AND* FF engineers, working on a browser together?
From either side, this does NOT look like a good idea!

With Google taking over the world where will that leave Uncle Bill G.?
 I foresee a future where forums are filled with Anti-Google propaganda about how bad they screw things up and MS is just a footnote on the blueprint of time. |
