I don't think Googles existence is dependent on the Chrome browser. Their power was first search, then collecting data from search and other services they offer, one of which is Chrome. It would appear they saw how FU IE was and stepped up to offer a safe, easy to use browser. I think their objective is to make using the web as easy as possible and to offer lots of free services that collect info. I have a Google app on my phone that allows me to take a picture of just about any product, book, etc. and it will return data on the item. This is the power of big data.

Starting FY15 - Bold Ambition & Our Core And if that was not bad enough, unless a developer has a host of enterprise, Cloud, database and web skills the market can look fairly bleak. The internet is now just about everything. We have to look no further than Google...without the Chrome browser, the company would not exist.
