This implies Google is organized-enough to have any coherent concept of strategy. They made a browser because everything they make is web-based and wanted to control that. They add non-standard features to the browser because they want to do stuff that isn't doable as part of the standard, because the web is a document engine that has been perverted into a general-purpose application platform.
I am confident that Google does have a high-level strategy regarding areas that they move into. That doesn't mean that everything that they do that creates compatibility issues is an embrace, extend, and extinguish attempt, though.
