Good for Google sponsoring competition…

If Google were in fact to buy out Opera it would be a tremendous gain for the browser market because of the increased competition that it would provide. Some of the comments from the News.com blog post seem to miss…

Opera is a pretty cool browser. When I compare it to Firefox and Internet Explorer, it seems more responsive and feels ‘light-weight’. There is a time when you upload files that the CPU usage goes up insanely but that’s pretty much uncommon for me as I don’t send out too many attachments or upload files… the most I do is fill-in text forms by typing into them.

The deal makes no sense at all if one considers desktop browsers, but Google are way behind in the mobile game, and Opera’s mobile browsers and their mobile Ajax environment are leading edge stuff and would certainly enhance Google’s steps towards mobility.

Opera’s browser doesn’t come on all the Nokia Nseries handsets, only on the very first ones (N70, N90), the newer and more interesting devices will have the new WebCore based browser – http://s60.com/browser – as the default browser.

[...] First, if and when Google buys Opera, what will it do with its strong partnership with Mozilla (i.e. Firefox)? I guess Google will end up alienating those who are using Firefox and loving the Google Toolbar in it. Besides, their Firefox/Google Toolbar referral program is a strong indication that their support is with Mozilla. Then, they’ve hired Firefox developers left and right (and I think still looking for some more). [...]

[...] While I am on the subject of Firefox Extensions, Google has pushed some more goodies into their ‘technology playground’ they call Google Labs. With two Extensions released yesterday, Google is continuing to promote Firefox as the web browser of choice – surely simmering rumours of a possible Opera acquisition. Google Safe Browsing and Blogger Web Comments have hit the Beta stage of testing, the point where Google has found that people make the most fuss about them, and are freely available to download.

Not far-fetched at all…I don’t think.

Imagine, if Google creates a web-based (browser) OS which is bootable on any machine/terminal/kiosk using USB. All that is needed is TCP/IP. It boots into a browswer platform for internet access and you can use web-based programs like Google Office/Google Base for creating documents and storing personal (or public) files. No need to have desktop resources…the USB holds all system config files to load into your profile and then all computing is done through Google browser, like you are using a normal computer with no TCP/IP connection.

The terminals/kiosk are found everywhere like ATM machines, using wireless access (Google Wi-fi).

I can see it happening. The day the MS desktop OS goes to a browser (web-based) OS. And I say this, while being a big FAN of Microsoft. I’m sure MS is possibly headed in the same direction. — Windows Live.

I think this rumour was started by an Yahoo Europe main honcho. Even if for a second, we agree that Google may indeed acquire Opera (maybe, for its excellent Mobile browser), what about its support for Firefox? Remember, there was talk in January 2005, about Google launching a browser. A tough cookie indeed.
