Related fun fact: AVG tries to install Chrome as bundleware by tricking the user using dark patterns as part of upgrades and is paid by Google to do so.

Addendum: In checking, I confirmed AntiVir and Avast both trick users into installing Chrome as I have screenshots of it (as well as Java, Adobe Flash, etc). I recall AVG doing it as well but don't have the associated screenshots.
