This is going to vary with different people. Have you heard the phrase "Default is destiny"? This is especially true for less technical people (the majority of web users).
Personally I'm not going to dabble, rather keeping to the safe and familiar, so I have to intentionally trial run something as my goto/default.
- saagarjha 7y agoChrome isn't the default on a lot of platforms.
- sharmi 7y agoIt is on chrome notebooks. And every search on google.com prompts you to install chrome for 'a better user experience'. Soon, just by plain nagging, it ends up becoming default
- NeutronStar 7y agoChome OS represents less than 1% of the market share. It is, for all intent and purpose, not even worth mentioning. And no, not every searches on google.com asks you to install chrome. If the nagging is prompting you to do what the nagging is asking you to d, you already failed.
- deith 7y agoThe default browser on Windows sucks and when you get online and go to Google you get an ad to download Chrome. That sorta makes it the default.
- NeutronStar 7y agoIf I tell you to go jump a bridge, is bridge jumping the default?
- dao- 7y agoGoogle has deals with many OEM vendors for Windows laptops and such. Whether it's the platform default is meaningless in this context.
- Piskvorrr 7y agoSure it isn't. Had to set up a Windows 10 laptop recently, and the amount of hoops I had to jump through, just to wrestle the default browser from Edge...!
