I actually think that that Chrome ad on the Google homepage was the most anti-competitive thing Google have ever done.

Like, no-one else in the world could possibly have gained access to that ad-space (possibly the most impactful ad-space in the world), and yet no-one even covers this in the anti-trust/competition investigations.

I got really sick of ignoring the constant prompts to install Chrome over the years (and I still use Firefox).

Mind you, at least the EU took them to task for Android service bundling, should be interesting to see what comes of that.
