A Yahoo executive said it is currently developing its own web browser as part of plans to 'revitalize' its search offering, and would also consider the purchase of other browsers.

Internet company Yahoo Inc. — backed by owner Apollo Global Management Inc. — would bid for the Chrome web browser if a federal court orders Google to divest it as a remedy for maintaining an illegal monopoly,

Purchase likened to ‘Exxon acquiring an untapped oil field with the drilling already done. Just turn on the tap and the good stuff starts flowing.’
