You are making good point stating that timing might be indication of half-hearted effort and that it it really looks like trend.But as you said, time will tell, and we will be watching what is going on.

But then I doubt that this, in itself, has been Google's aim. More likely it is part of larger, longer term effort to mine more user data than cookies can provide, and generally expand--as we should expect--the roll of the browser, from web "page" viewer, to web application platform. The latter I, for one, generally applaud, and think Google more trustworthy than others, if not completely so. The timing of Chrome's release, however, seems to indicate a half-hearted effort. And this appears to be a trend: Google seems to have spread itself so very wide across projects, and thinly, that momentum for products such as Chrome is uninspiring, as a result. Its early giddiness and sense of infallibility seems to be waning, finally. Time will tell if they can regain focus... on something. I agree that we don’t really need another browser hero wannabe.
