Google recently let slip the details surrounding plans for the launch of its own browser called Chrome. While it sounds very interesting and the inner workings of Chrome is worth a look, most of the attention has been shifted from Chrome itself...

Since when do browsers "compete". Last I checked they are all free and their user base does.... what to support them?

Well, with open source browsers the users do quite a lot in terms of support ranging from bug reporting, actually fixing the bugs, plugins to name the main ones. In terms of google we'll see total integration between their browser with their software, so simply being a user of the browser will make it easier to use the other products google develops and will result in revenue along the way for google. I'm not surprised by this move at all...

To say that Google doesnt care who is #1 is just not true. Google doesnt want Microsoft to be #1, and that is why it is releasing Chrome as well as supporting Firefox. If either succeeds in taking market share from Microsoft, its a victory from Google.

Google's business is the web. As long as Microsoft holds the largest market share of browsers, it can push its own search engines(say, build into the browser?) over Google(which are not best friends right now). If Google were to just allow that to happen it would be very costly to them. If, however, they have Chrome and Firefox, it is not nearly so devastating.

As long as Windows contains Internet Explorer and 92% of the PCs sold in stores contain Windows... good luck taking down M$ and their browser...lololololol
