Google Browser?

Google Browser? 09/20/2004 10:33 PM
NY Post (they're never wrong!) is speculating that Google will launch a web browser based on the fact that they've hired a half-dozen key hires in recent weeks. GBrowser sounds like a pretty lame name. Maybe it will like this. Maybe it will be Mozilla based. There's even Bug 226572 - Google branded Mozilla browser with the last comment saying: This is a duplicate of a private bug about working with Google. So closing this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 213362 *** If not Mozilla can always see how they market "GBrowser" to non-geeks and copy that.

The Google Browser

The Google Browser 08/27/2004 01:51 PM

Jason Kottke ponders whether Google is developing a Mozilla-based browser. It's obvious Google is up to something more than search, as illustrated by its recent acquisition of Picasa. Kottke believes that Google is building an operating system, and I share this belief when I think about an OS that lives on the net rather than everyone's desktop.

Update: Steve Gillmor writes along similar lines.

One way to understand the challenge Microsoft Corp. faces as it takes on Internet search king Google is to think of it in terms of soda pop. The big cola companies are famous for conducting blind taste tests, in which participants sample Coke and Pepsi and declare a preference without knowing which soda is in which cup. In the prototypical example, people opt for the drink that's not their normal favorite, showing just how much a brand can influence perception and choice -- and, not incidentally, providing good material for a TV commercial.

Google Browser Revolutions

BBC NEWS: Rumours surround Google browser "Google-watcher and web-designer Jason Kottke said Google's interest in Mozilla was significant for another reason. He said the work that Google is doing on Gmail and Blogger show it is definitely interested in building software that more like familiar desktop programs rather than web applications. " That's the gist of the XUL theory I posted about yesterday said in a non tech way. eWeek: Is Google Ready to Browse?. I'm quoted on page 2: Web developer Pinder Johal, who first reported on his Blogzilla blog about sighting Google in a Mozilla bug report, has his doubts. He said he would expect other types of applications, such as instant messaging, to be a bigger priority for Google."There's nothing conclusive out there, but a lot of people are speculating," Johal said. "I'm still skeptical about it all. Other than an R&D type of thing, I don't think they're going to launch something like they did with Gmail." Thus concludes the Google Browser Trilogy. Unless of course Google releases it tomorrow.

Silicon Valley Watcher says they have seen the tracks of the Google Browser. They don't show the full user agent though, so maybe their log analyzing software just got confused by the Google WAP Gateway or some such? A few non-Googlebot Google useragents: MOT-A835/70.20.18. MIB/2.2 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (Google WAP Proxy/1.0) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1),gzip(gfe) (via translate.google.com) UP.Browser/6.1.0.1.140 (Google CHTML Proxy/1.0) Mediapartners-Google/2.1 It's also curious the Googlebot sometimes is pretending to be Mozilla.

The Google Browser, Reloaded

The Google Browser, Reloaded 09/23/2004 03:22 AM
After my last post, the bugzilla issue Bug 226572 - Google branded Mozilla browser had also been marked as private. I no longer have a copy of it in my cache. Does anyone else have a cached copy of it? The ironic part is that if work offline actually worked, or if i were using IE, i'd still have the cache of the bug! But from what I remember, it was created in 2003, and in the URL field, it pointed to this page: Simon Willison: The Google Browser. It contained mostly the same kind of chatter as the comments on the above post by bugzilla users. The only item of note was the "This is a duplicate of a private bug about working with Google. So closing this one." comment. It was made by Bart Decrem , who coordinates marketing and business affairs for the Mozilla project. *** There's a lot of speculation about mini-apps that Google could build in "GBrowser". Anything from Alexa-like "What's Related" in the form of a Livemarks folder to blogging tools to integrated ads when searching. All of those ideas seem okay, but don't seem substantial enough to me. But what can Mozilla do but no one else can? If it's just a matter of improving Adsense revenue, why not partner with Opera, which already has an integrated adbar? What is Mozilla's advantage? I think Google is interested in Mozilla because of one thing: enhancing XUL. They recently grabbed Joe Beda, the lead developer of Microsoft's Avalon user interface in Longhorn. And Avalon is basically XUL... sort of. To see an example of a XUL app on the web, check out the Mozilla Amazon Browser. In my opinion, XUL is a bit cludgy and not-ready-for-primetime yet. But if Google partners with Mozilla to work on it, to enchance it, they could have many uses for XUL for any of the apps they have. GMail is the most app-like webapp I've ever seen. They have pushed what you can do with a webapp's page-by-page format. And "performing tasks page-by-page is not always the most efficient way of doing things". I think they've reached the limit with what they can do with a hardcore DHTML system. Do they invest more into pushing DHTML to its limits? Once they reach that limit, where can they go from there? The answer: to an enhanced XUL application. Maybe they want to make a XUL version of Gmail? Googe Groups could be much better in XUL interface. XUL could make it easier to search and view threads. And related items could be an expanding tree under the search, etc... The current system is bulky. It uses frames! XUL isn't exactly Gmail-like "simple" though. It's a completely different way of interacting on the web. I still think it's a long way away before any widespread use. But it certainly has lots of possible uses worth investing in if you're Google. I still think we'll see a Google IM client before we see a Google Browser.
