What other purpose would Google have for creating this software? 
Everything Google does is attempt to collect more data, whether it's 
collecting the world's email or convincing corporations, universities, 
private citizens, and everyone else that storing all their documents and 
records on Google servers is a great idea.

Whether this browser directly collects more data or simply assists them 
with their other collection methods, there's no other reasonable 
explanation for the creation of the tool.
