Defaults matter. 95% of people don't change defaults.

Chrome is not the default on anything other than android and ChromeOS. Yet it's quite popular to use chrome on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS.

When I was young and I did not understand much about computers, and Chromium was also young, I was receiving a somewhat local paper magazine about computers.

This magazine had their OWN branded browser, based on Chromium and many used that.

Now that I think about, what a gigachad magazine.

Chrome is the "default" on Google and Google is the default search engine for most people.

I wonder if that's due to marketshare. Chrome is so dominant, maybe it's the only browser that really matters these days?
