That's merely advertising. Google did not force chrome into any platform except android (which only happened after Chrome's dominance).
Mozilla could've paid for more advertising (e.g, partner up with Yahoo or some other big web property). But even with a push like that, FF won't have won because it didn't the high performance that drove Chrome's retention rate.
Calling it "advertising" is a understatement here. You don't end up with the product just by consuming an ad.
My parents never wanted to install Chrome. They still ended up have it. It came with an update and they didn't uncheck a checkbox.
All their friends use Chrome also because of this despicable trick.
When this wave of bundled malware behavior by Google started and I had to uninstall it all over the people and family where I installed Firefox before, I stopped using it as a second browser too.
I whish someone would finally sue them for this. At least to give it the attention it should have.
Don't forget their annoying bundling with freeware...
