Hm... I do think they should not do that because they are very good at what they do (search engines, AI, making outstanding recruitment campaigns, etc).
If I would run Google I would say it would be bad to invest in something that will require a lot of support, a lot of effort on a market that has 3 major competitors already (plus that launching my own browser might make my competitors who have been friendly to me - see Mozilla - start sending users to other engines).
Yes, Google did the same... first they launched it for IE and they supported the development of the Gecko plugin. Yet I hate that they have a different layout, shourtcuts... maybe A9 will be better.

That's it. I'm downloading Firefox NOW (I'm a Mozilla fan already - just didn't buy the official T-Shirt, but I'm using it)
