search-engines-web.com and others send “links to stories about the possible development of a a browser by Google. Here’s one from the Register.
Google is spending some of the cash it raised from its IPO on headhunting staff to build a web browser. Staff have already been poached from Microsoft and Sun.
Joshua Bloch, a senior Java developer at Sun, and four people from Microsoft’s IE team have all joined the firm in the last few weeks, according to the New York Post. One of the four, Adam Bosworth, was also a lead developer in the development of Access.

Great!
It would be wonderful to have another browser on the market. If Google makes a browser I plan on using it just to have an alternative to IE. I use Mozilla but now that it is no longer backed by Netscape I am worried that they will be unable to keep up new editions.
Re:Great!
FireFox is really taking off, so I don’t think Mozilla will vanish.
I would love a google OS. Forget file structures, directories, etc. just search for the files you need…
But how much longer before google is an evil, competition smashing monster?
