True, but also, if Chrome wins, it means they don't have to care about these deals too much anymore.
Because right now is Firefox switches search engine, it's very bad for Google.
Chrome will never switch. So, yeah.
That and that they can use Chrome to lock people into Google services in the future.

Oh no, not more Chrome proves Google is evil...
The only thing I've seen from Google that is a move in this direction is that it will share the oAuth cookie between Chrome Sync and google.com pages to auto login if you're already logged into the browser.
I don't see how Chrome "locks people into Google services" any more than simply enabling them to get there faster (V8, SPDY, etc).
