Of which only Chrome is in-house created. I wouldn't think Chrome brings in a lot of revenue, and these days I'd argue FF is a much better product.

I’m sure with Chrome,
Google has smart people calculating the value of the data that they get from it. It doesn’t make money directly but it’s gotta be a huge money maker.

Chrome logs every site you visit with the mothership, and that is very valuable data to Google. That allows them to spot, in realtime, trending sites for example. They see what the users are doing on the Internet in realtime and act accordingly.

I wouldn't call Chrome an acquisition, but it wasn't birthed at Google.

Huh? It was built entirely in-house at Google.

Chrome the browser? The browser based on Webkit née KHTML?

Literally every modern browser descends from Webkit. If anything Chrome diverged from it by switching to Blink in 2013.
I want FF to be successful, but unfortunately it's not really up to Mozilla
