Google wants you using products they own. Search/Email/Picasa/Grand Central/Browser etc. Getting everyone to use the browser made them a bunch of money. Everything they do is also meant to generate cash just like the actions of every other business in the world.

I surfed for a while and it is fast and so far no bugs or crashing. I have not poked around in the menu but the first thing i noticed is that RoboForm is missing. RoboForm is like my internet Tivo. It has changed the way i surf the internet just like Tivo changed the way i watched TV. I cant live/surf without it. Hopefully the two can play together.
