The New York Times has a very interesting story here .
Apparently the lads at Google have poached employee’s from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team, Sun’s JAVA team, and then hosted the Mozilla Developer Day on the Google campus. They are aware that Microsoft has turned its attention on search technology, so in response, they appear to be looking into returning the favour. Since Mozilla is open source and the code is available to all, it may well be that the “Google browser” might be a modified version of Firefox or the Full Mozilla suite.
Or it could all just be hype and Google are just grabbing anyone smart that they can get their hands on. Only time will tell. I suppose a Google browser would be cool, but I’m pretty happy with Firefox now, so I’m not sure I’d swap.
