Completely ignoring Chrome's success is off the back of it being advertised on the world's most popular website since it's release, then yeah.

And it being installed with unrelated software as crapware, and Google adopting Microsoft's "Youtube isn't done until Firefox doesn't run"...

and they advertised it on tv pretty heavily, too.

I love Opera's response to some of the idiotic speed test ads: https://youtu.be/zaT7thTxyq8

This was before Opera dropped their own engine and became just another Chrome skin unfortunately.

For those who missed the original Chrome ads, here they are: https://youtu.be/nCgQDjiotG0

I really miss the old Opera. Dropped it immediately when they went with Chrome.

The chinese owners should be the reason to drop it

Their chrome and play store ads will forever be seared in my brain.
