The talk is that GBrowser will be based on mozilla. Me thinks google would love to take advantage of the XUL standard that mozilla has so fully adopted. The browser is most definately on the way[1] its just a matter of when. Darren.

Re: [WSG] gBrowser from Google
Well, I did manage to get a warning from Google that "our service (GMail) may not look right because you aren't using IE" message, so the hopes of them NOT using IE as a backend? Slim. Corporations like Google are probably going to jump on ease of use and/or popularity. Still, it'd be nice to have gecko running the show. It'll suck if gBrowser turns out to be some craptastic IE wrapper like CrazyBrowser. Oh, the numbers of people who refer to CrazyBrowser as an actual browser is frightening. Don't these people wonder why it is that having IE6 installed is a requirement to run it's software?! *palm to the forehead* Webstandards wrote: Hi everyone I was recently told by a friend that there is talk of a browser to be released soon by Google called "gBrowser" I have googled for any news on it, and what support for standards it may have, but haven't really heard much.. To keep on topic, has anyone heard whether it will follow standards at all?? Or will it do a Netscape and use Mozilla and add extras on top? Their toolbar is IE only (a Mozilla version project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/google-toolbar/ has not moved in ages), so I am hoping they aren't going to base on IE With the number of gmail accounts going about, I can only think what a few gmail plug-ins to a "gBrowser" can do, before nearly every desktop will have it installed.
