M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Google/Alphabet should tell MS that they are sorry Chrome's icon is not great - could MS design some for them? MS probably couldn't help themselves, and would let it through just to show off their shiny new graphic!

Silly, but re advertising Edge, Google did exactly the same when Chrome was rising. They took advantage of free advertising via their search monopoly. It was also default bundled with Acrobat Reader and Flash if I recall. So lots got Chrome unwittingly.

That's OK. When Microsoft first released their Chromium based Edge, Google claimed it wasn't secure despite the fact that it was running the same rendering engine. Turns out it was because Microsoft didn't tie Edge to Google security services but rather to Microsoft's own security services. Oh, and as a SMB (Small/Medium Business) IT specialist, I consider Chrome to be a virus from the standpoint that even current versions never clean up their caches, which will eventually run any disk out of space.
