    Huh, weirdly I don’t remember that. I remember having to uncheck a whole bunch of check boxes for browser extensions, toolbars, WinZip pro, etc. But I didn’t remember that chrome was one of those. I’m sure you’re right though.

      I don’t think chrome was on sourceforge’s list-of-malware they stuffed everything in, but it was bundled with a lot of legitimate software.

      Google bought a lot of their marketshare, and did so with any method that resulted in an install, including bundled installer crap.
