Microsoft had IE as the DEFAULT - and did plenty of pushing itself. Across almost all dimensions chrome was better when it came out - people seem to forget how horrible browsers were historically (and how easily abused). I know ages ago of an entity that just got tired of dealing with the problems folks caused not using chrome (whether it was chrome's website blacklists or whatever - folks using chrome were less likely to get ransomeware - period). Literally - EVERY install of crap seemed to be coming from IE users, except one case I know of where someone had a chrome extension change hands and go rouge.
