rustyjaw Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Interesting developments from Google, they have hired employees from MS's IE team, and their Avalon UI guy, among others from Sun. Apparently to create a Google web browser: One clue is a whois search: looking up gbrowser.com shows that the administrative contact is Google. Along with the expertise they have hired in, there are plenty of tools to work with. Open source browser rendering engines such as KHTML (used as the basis for Konqueror, Safari, and OmniWeb) and Gecko (at the heart of the Mozilla browsers) are readily available, so creating a Google browser should be a comparatively simple task.

Camp Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Cool. I would assume it would implement Gmail. I don't think I quite grasp the business behind web browsers. How do these companies make money off of free browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
