"Chrome is the new IE" is laughable. Apparently you know nothing about history. Chrome has its sins but it is no where near comparing the evil of MS shoveling their OS and Office to peoples throats.
Private mail servers becoming near impossible to setup on our own because of GMAIL and DKIM witchcraftery with mail servers?
With the main online media tracking the user preferences on music and video too, minus the porn?
They cut down Gtalk/Jabber integration, too.
Heck, Google is what we were afraid of MS in late 90's/early 2000's on galaxy levels.
