Google Wants to Preinstall Chrome Browser on PCs
Published November 24th, 2008 in Browser Security, Google, Internet Explorer
Taking a page from Microsoft’s playbook for Internet Explorer, Google wants to get its Chrome browser preinstalled on new computers. Chrome’s market share on PCs is currently less than one percent vs 70 percent for IE and 20 percent for Firefox. Google plans a major marketing drive when the beta stage ends in January.
As in the real-estate market, a key factor in the browser wars has been location, location, location. In the virtual space that browsers inhabit, the most valuable location is to be preinstalled on the computer you buy — and Google wants that choice location for its Chrome browser.
