Rumor alert: Google to buy Opera
Former president of Yahoo! Europe Pierre Chappaz claims to have a reliable source telling him that Google is about to buy web browser company Opera. I'm not at all sure what to make of this. A Google Browser is something that's been speculated about for years now, but they already have a big stake in Mozilla; why go after Opera? Opera Watch says Opera PR has issued an outright denial, saying "Rumors come and go. Google is not buying Opera." Who to believe? I think I'll go with the PR folks.

I wont be suprised if this rumor is true, despite Opera's refusal. I can easily see Google buying Opera in the near future, although I won't be switching if Google does. It lags too much at execution for my preference.

That would be nice. I would certainly not mind a bit of highly concentrated GDS hi-tec inside the already peppy Opera.
