good move google! this has nothing to do with firefox. it has everything to do with webkit and ie. basically if you wanna be a big player you need your own toys. a google browser will be googles entry to to the new app space on an equal footing with ms. this is a place where you can bring in money by sale or subscription - without advertising.
but beyond that, google needs to compete with apples webkit on the mobile front. they need to embed a browser in android - preferably their browser ;) so far mozilla does not have an answer to the mobile webkit.
i dont see this as a dig on mozilla, google is funding them. i see mozilla remaining the best consumer app and goggles chrome becoming standard fair for mobile and desktop app browsing/computing for enterprise.
