Thats 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.
