I'm a Mozilla engineer, but I tend to agree with haberman's comment. I haven't seen any sign that Chrome benefits Google web properties any more than the web in general. "If Google just cared about "gathering data," it could save 99% of the work by just making search toolbars for other browsers that "phone home." ...which of course you have done, for a long time. But as far as I know Chrome has succeeded in gaining more users than the toolbars ever did. So maybe building a browser is a necessary cost of total world domination. :) (P.S. Hi Josh!)
