Google to build a browser?

This is a few days old now, howver I thought it would prove an interesting topic.

As quoted from WebProWorld Newsletter 19/09/2004:

It’s looking more and more likely that the oft-speculated possibility of Google creating their own browser may become a reality. According to a report in the NY Post yesterday, Google has been hiring a few former Microsoft employees. They also landed Joshua Block, a lead Java developer from Sun Microsystems.

Two names with Microsoft roots stand out as particularly interesting. Adam Bosworth was a leading developer for both Internet Explorer and Access. Joe Beda was a lead dev for the upcoming Longhorn user interface. Those are big time resumes.

With the names and backgrounds of some of these new faces, it’s hard to imagine that Google doesn’t have something cooking in the lab. These guys aren’t going to be sweeping the floors or anything.
