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.

Michael Collins says:
I’m not counting out a Google Browser yet. The comments Schmidt made reminded me of Steve Jobs before iPod with video came out. I think Google has a lot of interest in a browser and the project will turn out to be a big moneymaker for them.
