Jason Kottke ponders whether Google is developing a Mozilla-based browser. It's obvious Google is up to something more than search, as illustrated by its recent acquisition of Picasa. Kottke believes that Google is building an operating system, and I share this belief when I think about an OS that lives on the net rather than everyone's desktop.
Update: Steve Gillmor writes along similar lines.
OS? Maybe. I'm sticking closer to the browser theory because the OS one for nows sounds too much of a leap.
As I stated eariler today over at flex-mx.com, it might not be a bad move for Google to buy or to work with Opera or Firefox.

why would Google buy an opensource browser?
