Of course it is only speculation, but looks like there could be a google browser, google own the domain gbrowser.com so it could be on the cards.
I would definitely give it a try if they released one, I already use the google toolbar.

Yeah, it might be worth checking out. Rumors say they've been seen logging stuff into the Firefox CVS, which probably means they'll probably use a modified Firefox.

If it's just Firefox with a Google logo and a toolbar, I think I'll stay with FF.

In an interview with eWEEK.com ahead of Tuesday's Firefox launch, Mozilla President Mitchell Baker denied rumors that the Mountain View, Calif., foundation was working with Google on a browser based on Firefox or its Gecko rendering engine. "The code base is open for companies to do what they wish to do, but we're not working with Google on a special browser," Baker said. "We are not working on a Google browser."

that doesn't mean there won't be an google browser, since the code is open source. all that article is saying is that the mozillz/firefox people don't have anything to do with it.

Though it is possible for Google to take the same development approach, Google executives have downplayed reports of a forthcoming browser. According to a report in the Financial Times in late October, Google CEO Eric Schmidt refuted browser rumors.

"We are not building a browser," Schmidt said in the report.

A Google spokesman on Tuesday corroborated the accuracy of Schmidt's statement but declined to discuss the browser speculation further.

I reckon there will be one, I read another article somewhere else which listed all these top programmers that they had employed who had specialised in developing a browser.
