Google Is Not Planning Browser Soon

Rivalry between software giant Microsoft and online search powerhouse Google will not expand to the browser market. Well at least not quite yet. During a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Google said that it has no future plans of developing their own web browser. The online browser market offers users with satisfying variety and, for Google, there`s no need to offer users with another option.

"It looks like people have some good browser choices already, we would not build a browser for the fun of building a browser," said Google representative. Although Google is fighting Microsoft head to head over online domination, an online Internet browser won`t be Google`s next weapon. Google encourages users to use non-Microsoft alternatives such as the open-source Firefox browser, but will not offer a browser of its own.

Google said that incase there will be a real end user call for new browser options, they will consider developing a new browser. "We would only do something ... if we thought there was a real end-user benefit." Google is leaving the door open for future plans to be made, but we will not see a new `Internet Google Explorer` any time soon.
