It could be the case that having Google as the default in Firefox will pay for itself through advertising. Anyone have any feel for how likely that is?
If it isn't, is it an attempt to buy good will? Trying to gain some leverage over Mozilla when it comes to taking sides in the standards war?
Or just the idea that any time Firefox gains a user is a time that Safari or IE isn't gaining that user, and that any marginal hits to the adoption of Chrome are disproportionately compensated by hits to the adoption of competing browsers?
