> Example 2: Sending email SPAM to all Google-users where they are advised to install Chrome if they ever sign in to their Google-account on a new machine using anything except Chrome. Cite? I've never seen this, and I use Firefox regularly. > Example 3: Installing Chrome unasked as drive-by installers when you install anything lots of freeware, because Google paid third-party developers to host Chrome as a spyware-like installation in their installer. Again, cite? Because, again, I've never seen this.

> Example 2 cite I don’t have articles to link to, but I’ve experienced this on numerous occasions. Me working with manual testing where we regularly set up clean environments from scratch probably has helped me notice the problem more than a regular webdev. Because this is absolutely a problem. > Example 3 cite I’d say Google it, but it really is a known and documented problem: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+chrome+bundled+installers&t=ffip&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+chrome+bundled+installers&t... Goggle is in no way playing fair.
