One week ago, the Mountain View company made an interesting move that gives us one more subject for speculations and rumors. Although I said this even when I wrote that Google hired hacker Michal Zalewski as a security expert, numerous Internet publications are now speculating that Google is really interested in building its own browser that would compete with the already Internet giants Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Because it would be developed by Google, the Gbrowser has a great chance to attract a considerable amount of consumers, at least for testings if not for full time use. A long time ago, it was rumored again that Google prepares a browser but the Mountain View company quickly denied them.

Today, Google Watch offers some new details about this matter, sustaining that a Google spokesperson contacted them saying that "Google is always working on all kinds of exciting things and we have nothing to announce at this time."

The speculations were started after the Mountain View company hired Michal Zalewski, a famous hacker who managed to find an impressive number security holes in all sorts of applications. But what's more interesting is that he was extremely focused on the web-browsers, discovering numerous flaws in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Because he would be able to improve the security of a web-browser, the Internet publications speculated that Google might be interested in developing this kind of software that would represent the safest alternative for your default browser.

Now, imagine what a Google browser would represent for the Internet users. First of all, it would be another alternative for the three rivals. Then, it would attract an impressive number of consumers due to security reasons since the recently hired hacker is already working at the Googleplex. In addition, the browser would surely bundle the Google Toolbar and other tools provided by the search giant, offering instant access to the company's technologies.

I kept the best part of this news for the end of the article: Google already registered the Gbrowser.com domain, so it seems like the Mountain View company might be really interested in developing this software solution.
