To be sure, Google’s market penetration across the web is a huge driver of encouraging people to switch browsers. It costs nothing to advertise on their own website! I just find it interesting that so many people on Windows actually do. If I was forced to choose between Edge and Chrome, I’d probably skip the hassle of installing an extra browser.
because the average user is kinda dumb, kinda impatient, and some of those ads and banners on google properties peddling chrome were very scary to them… that they’d lose, or miss-out on something in, youtube or google or their gmail.
