Well ive been seeing this alot recently, Google are supposidly going to make a browser, based off rumers.. well first they higherd 10+ new people, and it just happens that they all worked on mozilla. Second, google have regiesterd the domain "Gbrowser.com" so ever since that its been going round the net.. its also been said they are gonna make a IM app.. anyway google it in google news and you get some evidence.. time will see

I can guarantee you they will... it's a very logical step for them to take.

I hope they do, I have always been loyal to google and i think they're a great bunch-o people.

i already knew bout IM but didnt know a browser, i hope they do, the browser would be awesome, specially if its from mozilla workers. cause firefox owns and google owns. good step like faken said, and yeah they prolly will.

Google + Firefix = unstopable

[ronson]

didnt know about either and like faulty sanity said that he is loyal im loyal too they got best search engine and also the best features (site search makes life easier) id probably use it aswell dont know about the IM though =\

if you'd have read around you'd know the "gbrowser.com" address is to used on a desktop searching program google are working on thats search for locally stored files

also they didn't hire 10 people who happened to work for mozilla, they hired 5 people who used to work for microsoft

they aren't looking at programming an internet browser, just researching into how the different upcoming browsers (FireFox) work so they can tweak the google engine and google toolbar to work in these browsers

JAy you are right and wrong, it was confirmed that they were making a browser, but you were right about them hiring some random microsoft people, and some other people. Including them ain man behind Java!

[Jamie Huskisson]

can somewhere point me to where it was confirmed? i haven't seen anything on it :/

Let me dig up the link to it.

The article I used

[JamesPickens]

argh i want a damn google browser. *reads the topic* is this topic even like certified from google? if not then no reason for me to believe it. =\

[Jamie Huskisson]

google, to me, seem to be the next microsoft in the making

google has more power than microsoft online, and could probably take that power onto other markets

i hope they do too, its time for a change

[Plumpen]

A google browser and IM would be pretty cool. Hope these rumors are true.

Yahoo arnt in googles leage to be honest

[Atomica]

hmm google makes a web browser... all the info you need at your fingertips, that will be nice, and since experienced peeps are making it, then it should be really good. no pop ups or virus's.

[Jamie Huskisson]

i think the reason google are top of the business at the moment is their image

i mean not many people remember the days of "google are evil" but now days it seems to be that they can't do anything wrong

google are a company with a face, yahoo, ask jeeves, amazon... all companies without faces

thats why google will win whatever battle they choose to go into at the moment in my opinion

[JamesPickens]

Google and Yahoo are owned by same company... arent they? i mean the yahoo search use to be powered by google, i duno if still is (i dont use yahoo anymore)

[ronson]

bah i can make a better 1 =P
