Another problem with Google is their popups... I.E.: If you are not using Chrome, and visit Google.com, they will let you know. That is how they got so many people to switch to it.

fwiw, I just started using MS products again and they do the same thing. I'm not switching because I tried them and Google still has superior products

You think chrome is superior to the new Edge Browser which is based on chromium?

It never made me switch to Chrome (still use Firefox), but I think that it made a lot of people switch... by having a daily popup telling them that they are using the wrong browser.

no, what made people switch was that chrome is the default browser on android

Firefox slowness sent me there and Chromes account management is what keeps me there
