[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1814867, member: 190607"] Because it's low-hanging fruit. Most of the work for creating a new browser is already done, because *all* Web browsers (even Apple's) are based on already existing and free to use open-source code. Mozilla, Chromium, and WebKit are the most commonly used open source Web browser engines. Web browser companies make their money by serving up Web searches and sites that Google then pays for visiting. So it's easy money for these folks. The exception is the Epic browser. Google refuses to pay them because they block all ads and all of Google's spyware. Google is trying to strangle them out of existence.
