Old folks don't download Chrome, their sucker children do. Those who are too frail to lift the koolaid cup to their mouths shall be aided by their brethren.
But also Chrome isn't super hard to install anyway and the dark patterns "help" with the process. Go on Google.com with MS Edge and it'll tell you Chrome will give you a faster, more betterer Internet. It must be pretty convincing to hear that from the de facto arbiter of the world wide web and all you have to do is follow the pretty blue buttons. I was able to install Roblox when I was 10 with less guidance.
- luke2m 5y agoYeah. If I open Google docs with Gnome Epiphany, I get a message that says IE is no longer supported. IE? And until recently, Vivaldi had all sorts of issues on google websites, even though it’s chromium. https://vivaldi.com/blog/user-agent-changes/ https://vivaldi.com/blog/user-agent-changes/
- unreal6 5y agoThe shade in that blog post is immense. > We also often encounter websites that block the exact string “Vivaldi”, with no contact or warning to us. This is particularly problematic when the larger technology behemoths (some of whom we directly compete with in the browser space) do this
- jamesrr39 5y agoTo be fair, Edge is also "pushed onto" people, being a default install in Windows. Not saying it's right how Chrome is pushed though. IMO, ideally there would be regulation requiring Windows to offer a fair choice of browser downloads (none preinstalled) when you set up the computer, and google wouldn't pull it's "faster, better browser" thing when visiting their search site.
