Google Browser

Percept, before you go on and on about no ads in the Google browser, please read the following article.

What I am telling you is this, Google does not care about you, they will use webmasters as long as they can.

Do you get money when someone clicks on an ad on Google search?

If computer users are using text ad and banner blocking software like Norton Internet Security to take ads off of web content as TV viewers do today with Tivo, Google has to do something to insure that their major source of cash flow is protected.

The browser will insure that ADSENSE survives if they can get the jump on getting internet users to use the software.

Google has to do this or Longhorn (browserless search) will wipe them out.

 

anthonycea, you think publishers are going to let this happen ... they can't just forget about them ... tehy will have to find some way to make it profitable for all parties or:

if(useragent == 'Gbrowser'){
byebye();
}
else{
welcome();
}

 

Markets change, the webmasters have power to do business with other vendors.

But how do you stop web surfers from blocking ads with software?

If cookies are outlawed how do affiliate programs change?

When Adware is outlawed or spyware is outlawed how does webmastering change?

5 years from now when more digital video is used because of broadband how will this change the marketplace?

We are in a fast changing business here, get used to it or start laying bricks.

 

It doesn't surprise me in the least. It is not that they are supporting MS products, it is that they have had the intent of getting into the MS OS's all along. See where I am coming from?

Also -- just because they are working with the Mozilla-based source code, does not mean that they will release a browser that will work on all OS's. My feeling is that it will be for Windows only. Reason? They are targetting that OS and its filesystem. In order to do this on Linux, they would spend too many resources and development/redevelopment time for the various Distros and flavors of Linux -- not all Linux's are created the same.

Say what? Point me in the direction of supporting evidence to qualify such a statement.

Google is the number one reason for the demise of PFI results mixed with the organic results. Although, Yahoo still does not seem to get it, do they. Go slap Yahoo around for while -- then maybe somebody will listen to you. Gawd knows they can use a little byatch-slapping!

If you use their new WebSearch (part of AdSense publishing now) you can. I have not used it yet, but it is another way of making money with Google. They are the only SE that allows you to revenue share with their search product that I know of.

Correct. Their present system of AdSense uses JavaScript. This is very easy to detect and over-ride on the client-side. There is already slime-ware out there (non-legit) that intercepts these ads and replaces them with their own -- even on Google's, Yahoo's, etc. own search pages (this is a scraping function though). You darn tootin' they are going to protect it.

In the case of javascript though, they can go to alternate methods of server-side scripting to get around the blockers. Then it is business as usual.

 

Ronnie, are you trying to get on my bad side?

 

Linux is getting more popular eventhough it's still only a small part of desktop computing. Those who start supporting it now will be in a much comfortable situation once Linux really breakes trhough.

ofcourse, If linux wil ever breaktrough is a whole other discussion.

 

The net is buzzing with rumours that Google is working on a web browser.
Online journals, or weblogs, have put together a series of developments which suggest that the search engine is developing new web tools.

BBC Technology news

 

The Browser is just a component of the Google OS that they are developing to fight the Longhorn Browserless OS that M$ is developing.

See this thread and the link in the opening post.

Their is no doubt Google is working on new webtools, the only question is, when will we see them.
