Google-branded Firefox?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the seems-pretty-likely dept.

    Why would they want to do that?

  2. Would their own browser improve search results? by pjack76 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Think about it. If everyone's using a google-sactioned browser, the browser could tell google which pages were more popular than others. It'd be a massive violation of privacy but Google Desktop search didn't seem to take privacy that seriously...

    If GBrowser updated google.com every time a page was read, google's main business could profit tremendously.
