According to this article Google doesn’t intend to make a web browser:
“We would not build a browser just for the fun of building a browser,” [Eric] Schmidt said.
At least he admits building a browser is fun!

An interesting post on an allegedly new Googlebot. I’ve got no clue about the truth or accuracy of it, but the article thinks Googlebot is no longer a lynx like browser, but based on Mozilla. It would make sense, so Google can take better advantage of things like CSS, JavaScript. Perhaps it’s using <canvas/> to create screenshots for thumbnails?
Again, no clue regarding accuracy, but it’s an interesting read.
