I commuted by train between 2010 and 2011 in England, and there were big billboard ads of Google Chrome.

Not sure what effect these have, but I wonder how many people don't know about Firefox at all.

Yeah, they have the eff you money to throw around. They sponsor the McLaren F1 team as one of the primary sponsors,

And F1 gets hundreds of millions of viewers each year.

I remember reading, at that time, that the ad budget for Chrome in London alone was more than the entire budget of Mozilla.

I vaguely remember even seeing Chrome distributed as bundleware.
