Do end users hate Chrome? Or is this just the perspective bias of the crowds that frequent HN?
It still has a broad market share, and even Chromium forks are not making a dent. They are evidently doing something right.
- jen20 3y agoThe thing they are doing right is being imposed upon people at every turn by every Google property, no?
- helloooooooo 3y agoHow? If I own a windows machine it comes with Edgium. If I own an apple machine it has Safari. If I use a desktop Linux distribution, it likely comes with Firefox. If I use a Chromebook, it comes with Chrome(which is highly integrated into the OS itself). Google isn’t imposing anything. Sure when you navigate to a Google site, it may nag you to download Chrome. Microsoft does the same on a Windows box. There is no imposition or compulsion involved.
- jen20 3y agoNagging is both imposition and compulsion.
- nerdix 3y agoIts pretty clear that isn't the case since there are viable alternatives and people have to go out of their way to install Chrome to begin with. If most people hated it, they would just install Firefox instead (or use Edge or Safari)
