Their hugest profit driver is matching *results* (though not the search results themselves in, mind you. Nowadays, Google doesn't profit at all from Chrome. By making sure that as many websites and webapps only work exclusively with IE, Microsoft made sure that people desperately need to buy Windows from them in order to get the bundled in Internet Explorer.

Yes, a lot of web apps fail in Microsoft Edge /Internet Explorer or in Safari, but has more to do with those being bullshit browser which aren't up to date with standard (microsoft's stuff even more so) than Chrome being a proprietary target.ДЄnd then, there's the whole anti-trust / profit angle.Д«ack during the internet explorer scandals, Microsoft was profitting from selling software. In practice, very few web apps run in Chrome but completely fail in Firefox, despite both using entirely different engines. When in doubt you can check how they've implemented some non-compliant stuff.

Take another browser that complies with the same open standard, and you can more or less access the same web apps.Д¬hrome's source code is even accessible. Google Chrome mostly relies on open standard. There was no sane way to make a web app specifically made for IE to run on anything else except the specific version of IE that it was made for. Internet Explorer back then, locked you into a shit ton of closed source proprietary secret poorly documented stuff (embed OLE objects/ActiveX extensions night mare). The troubling part for anyone who's invested in an open web is that Google is starting to ignore a principle it championed by making its own services Chrome-only - even if it's only initially.

Microsoft has been using similar tactics to convince Windows 10 users to stick with Edge. Google has also even extended that prompt to take over the entire page at times to really push Chrome in certain regions. If you visit in a non-Chrome browser you're prompted up to three times if you'd like to download Chrome. Google also controls the most popular site in the world, and it regularly uses it to push Chrome. 'When the largest web company in the world blocks out competitors, it smells less like an accident and more like strategy,' said a Microsoft developer in a now-deleted tweet. It's led to one developer at Microsoft to describe Google's behavior as a strategic pattern. Hangouts, Inbox, and AdWords 3 were all in the same boat when they first debuted. Some also block Firefox with messages to download Chrome. Google Meet, Allo, YouTube TV, Google Earth, and YouTube Studio Beta all block Windows 10's default browser, Microsoft Edge, from accessing them and they all point users to download Chrome instead. Google has been at the center of a lot of 'works best with Chrome' messages we're starting to see appear on the web. Whether you blame Google or the often slow moving World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the results have been particularly evident throughout 2017. Tom Warren, writing for The Verge: Chrome now has the type of dominance that Internet Explorer once did, and we're starting to see Google's own apps diverge from supporting web standards much in the same way Microsoft did a decade and a half ago.
