That's not my experience.
I'm no longer using Chrome as a daily driver, but when I first installed Chrome it was because IE was extremely unusable buggy and fell be hind a lot at the time and FF was great and all but a bit slow and and eating a lot of RAM. Chrome was fast and light
I remember seeing memes about what Internet Explorer: Q:What is IE good for? A:To search and install Chrome.
- basch 6y agoThats anecdotal and the memes were after it got popular. Just because many of us purposely installed chrome, doesnt disprove that Google used many dark patterns to get people to click buttons or bundle it with other installs early on. Back then, Chrome used many of the same tactics as Yahoo and Ask toolbars, and even today the google.com home page warns you as if google doesnt work right in other browsers.
- grugagag 6y agoYou might be right but I personally installed Chrome because I wanted to. Well, first to try it then to replace IE on other computers. I'm sure they abused dark patterns as well as the whole industry almost never hesitate to do so.
