The placement seems interesting. Chrome in top left, obviously. But Firefox in the bottom right? Opera in what seems like it should be the 2nd-best position?

My guess is the idea is "surround Chrome with browsers that people like less and are less familiar with so that they might click through to chrome before even considering firefox (or IE8)"

Does anyone know if the placement is actually static? Given that it's Google I assumed it was randomized placement with statistics tracking so they can A/B test the various placements just for the fun of it...

The positions change with every refresh.
