    Google snuck one by me...

    As I'm downloadin' Google Earth to install on the system earlier, I noticed the Google updater was also d/ling (and attempting to install) the Chrome browser at the same time - with no advance warning.

    I d/l'ed and installed Google Earth on another system about a month ago and it didn't try installing Chrome at that time - so it's something new Google's gone and done without warning.

    Not that I mind the install of Chrome (I have it on other systems)...but its a little deceptive IMO to bundle it with Earth and not mention it anywhere.

          Like I said, I didn't mind - just surprised me google would bundle it that way. Not their usual modus operandi.

                  They must be desperate to get their browser out there - from what I heard after the initial spark of public interest, Chrome isn't gaining in popularity.

                      it's a disaster for Google if they can't even make a browser popular...

                              Chrome is just too easy and quick.

                                  Sounds kinda desperate from Google to do this, but on other hand Googles owns the internet.

                                  They just do whatever they want

                                                          Same here... Google Chrome is 10x faster and I love the omnibar.

                                                          These days I just use FireFox for a couple of projects where I need the add-ons I have... otherwise it's all Chrome!

                                                                          Usually I'm fairly good at pickin' up on that shit.
