> In the case of Chrome, you can't blame Google. They made a good browser, did some marketing and it got popular.

They spammed it massively as in

- adding it to other popular downloads

- ads everywhere on their properties, including on the front page where no one else has ever been allowed to buy ad spots

- lies: would shamelessly present itself as a better browser not just for users of old IE versions but also for users of Firefox and probably Opera as well.
