A Google browser coming soon?

Is there a Google browser coming soon? There seems to be some suggestion that it might be and I think very soon. To head off Microsoft's venture into the Google search arena, Google may be thinking about beating them to the punch. A Google browser would probably based on Mozilla. It's funny how Mozilla may come back to bite Microsoft after they vanquished what was left of Netscape some years ago. Although this may be a good idea for Google, it might play into Microsoft's hand. Remember that Microsoft won th last browser war and know how to take out small players and in this area Google would be a small player. People are very used to IE, so I think it would be a tactical mistake to play into your competitor's strength. The operating system and the browser, no matter what the lawsuits did, became their strength.

Of course, Google will probably try to integrate all the other things into the browser like Gmail, personalized search and maybe desktop search. It's going to get interesting as another lamb takes on the Microsoft lion.
