Chrome is the most popular browser, if you disconnect that then you cut off google's guaranteed control of the default search engine. That's just a hunch though. Same with Android which is the most popular mobile OS in the world.

Microsoft has the most used operating system in the world with a default browser that defaults search to Bing. How is that working out? Being a default doesn't matter when the other options are better and easy to switch to.

Are you sure about that? Think again.

Lots of people use Google through non-Chrome browsers. For instance, on iOS the dominant browser is Safari.

What makes you think an independent "chrome" browser wont put Google Search as the default search engine?
