And you know this how?
When they launched chrome, the browser wars had long since been won. Everyone who knew what a browser was had installed firefox, and everyone else thought IE was the internet. Just because you ignored the ads doesn't mean the general public did. It sounds like you're being biased.
If you're going to attribute Chrome's growth to "accidental clicks on ad manipulation" instead of the massive awareness campaign, you're going to need to provide proof.
- kuschku 11y agoWell, in Germany Firefox is still far larger than Chrome. Chrome eats up the share of IE, but can’t touch FF.
- bduerst 11y agoHow does that equate to ad auction abuse?
- kuschku 11y agoSorry, I might have misunderstood your comment. Several people on this page provided statistics and reports how they got nothing or next to nothing when Google replaced all ads in the AdWords network with their Chrome ads. As I’m also not interested enough in the topic to research sources just to change your opinion, I don’t care if you’ll downvote me again.
- bduerst 11y agoI checked this page and nobody here links to anything supporting ad auction abuse as you say. Are you sure you understand what you're talking about?
- kuschku 11y agoI meant "several people on HN mentioned in a post when Chrome was introduced", not "several people in this HN thread". Sorr :/
