Exactly. Which is why Google Chrome makes sense. If you think of the web app you're using as the primary application (Calendar, for example), instead of the browser, then the browser is just the chrome around it. And this is Chrome from Google (as opposed to the chrome from Firefox). And if you use Google in Chrome, it's the chrome around Google too. Since Google apps are web-based, they need Chrome, and since Google wants to give the best experience possible for their own apps, they'd like you to use the Google Chrome for Google. Ok I'm done.

This goes even more if you considered how complex browser UIs were getting. Here's IE6: http://static.myce.com/images_posts/2014/12/myce-internet-explorer-6.jpg http://static.myce.com/images_posts/2014/12/myce-internet-ex... Oddly enough, Netscape 6 / Mozilla Browser seems to have been one of the first browsers to start paring down the UI - this looks a lot like Google Chrome today: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7e/Netscape_6.1.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7e/Netscape_6.1.... Which makes sense as Netscape 4 was doing things like adding a 'Shop' button to the browser toolbar.
