This is complete nonsense, it's a post hoc copium where you're trying to dishonestly rewrite history from your personal hatered.

Chrome was better than competition pretty much all its lifetime and there's plenty of historic articles to prove it, no matter how much your emotions refuse to accept the history.

You are incorrect. Chrome was widely bundled with third party installers for much of its history.

> nearly 10 % of the installers came with a third-party browser (e.g. Chrome)

You can argue the merits of a product without personally attacking people.

The only personal insult to everyone here is such blatant lying and rewriting of history. And it's telling about the bottom barrel culture of the internet that you're angrier about having someone called out as a liar they are instead of actual lies.

We were there and we didn't install Chrome via some made up toolbar installer, but because it was significantly better than what Mozilla and Internet Explorer offered.

I am plenty calm, I do not know what gives you the impression I am angry. You, however, absolutely need to ease off the gas. You can’t talk to people like this here. You are being needlessly hostile and taking swipes at people. Treat people with respect or just don’t bother commenting. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
