Google and GBrowser
I've see only this morning that on on MozillaNews is appeared a thread that talks about a possible target for GBrowser, the domain bought by Google for a possible (??) browser project: a Google branded and customized version of Mozilla Firefox! :)
I don't know who is the author of the article but I don't think that the Google plans are these. The idea is fascinating but not a key of success for a company like Google. If they really want to open the door to the browser world, they must start thinking to a revolutionary way to surf the web, not only limited to a customized Firefox version with lots of Google toys...
A Firefox based Google Browser with GMail, GoogleGroups, Blogger, GoogleIM, Google Search for the web and for the desktop is (in my opinion) not the real target, but the real point of arrival could be a complete platform that integrates many popular web and desktop features, a new way to manage your pc and your net surfing. Do you remember that a month ago I talked about ideas for a Network Pc?
