Thoughts on GBrowser

The web is buzzing with rumours of Google releasing its own browser. Here's my additions to the rampant speculation.

Seems to me that the most likely scenario is that GBrowser would compete with Adobe Air and provide an off-line environment for Web Applications to run in. Not only would it provide off-line support but it would likely provide a faster runtime than current browsers provide.

This make sense as it would not compete with Firefox (Google has invested a lot into it and Mozilla has asserted that their primary goal is to create a general purpose browser) and it could greatly improve the performance and features of Google's Web Applications that are trying to compete with desktop applications.

Hopefully, if GBrowser does materialize it will be open sourced and available on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Here's hoping!
