I’m a bit surprised by DHH take on this.
Maybe a lot of people have forgotten but how Chrome won the browser war was by Google annoying its users with a barrage of popups saying “to have a better viewing experience, download Chrome”.
The only way to have those messages go away from any Google property was to use Chrome.
- reginald78 1y agoDon't forget bundling it with the installers of popular downloads like Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, lots of antivirus software, etc. If you weren't paying attention during all of those installers you'd end up with Chrome installed. I often wonder how necessary these moves even were though. Google's brand was at an all time high during this era.
