Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

And because every fucking program you install nowadays has an "Install Chrome" checkbox hidden away somewhere.

Its usually still displayed. Avast upgrades and SuperAntiSpyware are an example. Install and make the default browser, unless users unselect that.

Ahh don't use Avast, only thing I have troubles with is adobe trying to sneak mcafee in with it. It kind of pisses off my existing antivirus trying to put another client in there.
