Tyrantmizar’s blog is mostly about Firefox extensions, with some other stuff thrown in for flavor.

Google Browser?

Being that this site primarily deals with Firefox extensions, it isn’t suprising that nearly 80% of my viewers are Firefox users. However, while viewing Sitemeter Stats Page (I’m still waiting for that shiny Measure Map invitation), I’ve noticed another browser.

SiteMeter Stats

The second and third brosers on that list are : Google 4.X and Google 0.X When did Google get a browser? Is it just the Googlebot spidering my blog? What is it?

It could be the GBrowser: the domain for gBrowser.com is taken by Google. And Google is spending a lot of time with Mozilla Firefox, hiring several of Mozilla’s employees and a few of IE’s team. Google seems to have several deals with Firefox, such as being the default search engine, offering adsense ads to promote switching to Firefox, as well as hosting the home page of Firefox.

What does this mean? We’ll just have to wait and find out.
