I heard awhile back that google was planning a browser. And a rumor that they hired some people who worked on FireFox to help with it.

A. Is this ture
B. if A is true is there any news recently on this "gbrowser"

Yeah i herad the same rumor too i wonder if it was ture.

They did hire one of the lead developers of Mozilla Firefox. However, I haven't heard any facts about any web browser from Google.

Have you guys seen WebKit? It's Safari - Apple's browser - in open source form. It's standards compliant (passes Acid2 test).

Being addicted to Firefox,
I can say that unless it was open source, AND really Firefox only with more features,
That I might get it.

But wouldn't it be cool if it had Dtop search, Picasa, and more!

All from one interface!

O well, I can dream!

Well, there are a lot of rumors, and Google is hiring a lot of people. Its as if they are hoarding the best programmers so that the large companies break down without smart businessmen and Google and open-source programs remain. Then google has only to buy sourceforge.net and other places and Google will own the world.

Haha, just kidding. But they are hiring a lot, each new employee causes a new rumor almost. A browser is definetely not imminent as Google has to first do the GoogleNet service, then say the GBrowser or whatever works more efficiontly with their internet.

I heard that rumor to. it would be great though if Google did bring out an internet browser. if they did would they build google talk into it so its like an all in 1 ie.

If Google made a browser which I highly doubt and added every single little thing into it, it would be very memory and resource intensive having all those things in your browser.
