It doesn't matter how pushy or honest is google. Users have to go out of their way to use chrome instead of the default browsers and they still do. And I haven't heard anyone saying "I'd rather use Edge or IE but site xxx only works on Chrome".

Not entirely true. Chrome as been bundled with other popular software for significant time.

Also saying someone has to go out of their way to install it when it is advertised on the front of Google.com isn't my definition of "out of their way".


What has chrome ever been "bundled" with? And if it was there was no reason to people to simply not use it.

You just can't admit that Chrome does have its merits for some non-logical reason...

The JRE is at the top of my mind.

Disagree again. And I don't really understand where you get that from.

I admit Chrome is nice for a lot of people.

The reason why it owns the market today is because it is a decent/good browser (except for its huge privacy issues) and because Google has put an enormous effort behind pushing it everywhere all the time.
