Being savvy in a field does not correlate to making good decisions in said field, especially if rewards and incentives are not aligned.

Lots of tech people got their start on Google tech and don't mind ads. They're a strange breed of people who I guess just give into anything being pushed on them in tech.

1. Google employees

2. People who "bought in" to the Google/Android ecosystem

3. Web developers who won't use inferior dev tools

4. Stockholm Syndrome

5. Too much ego to admit they've been wrong for years when they told Firefox advocates that there was nothing wrong with using Chrome, that the advertising corporation with monopoly power was actually benevolent and wouldn't abuse their market position.

Chromebooks are really nice and you get great touchpad gesture input in Chrome. And obviously Chrome has better performance and power efficiency, etc. there.

I didn't use Chrome before I bought this Chromebook.
