gbrowser in development?

at least this is what many are hoping to hear: official confirmation that google is indeed pursuing the development of a web browser (not to be confused with andreas schwarz's image browsing programme for apple computers bearing that very name).

in any case, a google spokesperson announced the company had a policy of not commenting on rumour and speculation, of which there's plenty... the idea of the proper marriage of internet explorer features with mozilla security and the innovation, integration and design present in alternative browsers as well as in the imagination of users who expect more than aol-style lower-common denominator tools, is indeed reason for excitement.

internet explorer is simply obsolite and too hgigh a security risk. yet i can't stand current versions of firefox nor opera and the need to download, install and configure every attractive and rather needed feature separately instead of having them incorporated into the wholeas in the brilliant slimbrowser.
