I thought some of you might be interested.

--- Quote ---An Opera official outright denied this claim, after I asked about it, saying "Rumors come and go. Google is not buying Opera."

It's just a rumor then


--- Quote ---Perhaps there is a bit of truth to this, maybe Google is collaborating with Opera on some project that we don't know about yet. Who knows?
--- End quote ---

Possibly, perhapps they're just planning to support Oper more.

Refalm:
I thought Google was a Firefox bitch?

MarathoN:
That's probably why they want to buy Opera, so they can eliminate the competition to Firefox. :D

piratePenguin:
I've heard people wonder when Google would release a web-browser, but I could never see why Google would want one...

If they did want a browser, Opera would probably be a good buy (and a tough one, probably). They can't buy Firefox. Because they have developers working on Firefox, maybe they'd contribute to Firefox some bits from Opera, or free Opera?

I don't fully get why Google would be so interested in web-browsers.
