According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Google has no plans to build a web browser to compete with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or any of the other browsers available. Schmidt made this statement during a conference call with Wall Street analysts.

It looks like people have some good browsers choices already,” Schmidt said. “We would not build a browser for the fun of building a browser,” he said.

Google encourages its customers to use a variety of alternatives to Internet Explorer, particularly the open-source Firefox browser. Source: Reuters

We Say: The browser space is pretty crowded. Plus I definitely don’t need more Google software to try out (and to watch stay in Beta for two years or so). :-)
