ServeYourWorld writes "The New York Post is reporting that 'Based on the half-dozen hires in recent weeks, Google appears to be planning to launch its own Web browser and other software products to challenge Microsoft.'

    Opera already does that if you enable the Google TextAds feature... with Google, no less.

    Firefox already does that. (Well, it doesn't exactly track you, and it only displays relevant ads if you want it to.)
