> The desire for a level playing field also partly explains why Chrome and Android are so important. Without Chrome, we’d be at the mercy of Internet Explorer or other web browsers when users want to get to Google Except that Chrome download notices appear at the bottom of Google's homepage for non chrome users, or at least have in the past. I see where Matt is coming from here but when you are dealing with Google as a competitor, rivals are going to try everything to get back market share. If Google is going to use its competitive advantage in search to push its other products why shouldn't anyone else?
