I don't really understand why they're putting so much effort in pushing what is basically a reskinned Google product. Why do they care that I use it? I have to use it at work because Microsoft lobbied them heavily and I don't like it at all. But they've also pushed to remove Firefox from everyone's computer :( But really if you want chrome (I don't) why not use the real thing instead of the knock-off?
