My experience with relatives' computers has been that trying to completely remove Chrome from Windows is a lot like trying to remove a rootkit, specifically one that phones home a lot.
If any other company did those sorts of things in persisting pieces of their software all over the OS without easy removal for non-technical users, people would be calling it malware or spyware.
- fizzbatter 12y agoInteresting, what specifically are you having trouble with? I would think it just uninstalls. Are you claiming otherwise? I'd love to try and reproduce what your claims are (fact check).
- zobzu 12y agoA bunch of adware reinstall it actually, because they get money from Google for that. On a clean system its pretty simple to uninstall.
- asdrty 12y agothe main reason why I never switched to Chrome is the Google process that is always running whether you are currently using Chrome or not.. but I don't think I had any issues uninstalling it a few years ago
