It is sad to watch MS (Windows as a whole; they seem to have forgotten they should be an OS) and Google (Chrome in particular*) compete for title of "most widely deployed spyware".
But IE6 was not spyware, it was a browser that was maddening to use, and purposely anti standards. That title, currently, is theirs alone.
* It is really no contest - Chrome is king. But even Google's little things - G-Fonts loads JS to track users on websites, and Android SDK installs an updater that also spawns nameless DLLs that run in the background and regularly send info home, would be impressive for any other spyware app...
