Don't forget bundling Chrome with random apps (I remember cCleaner), making it install silently and automatically set itself as default.

I got caught by this as a kid a few times, I was technical enough to know what was going on, and reliant on a screen reader (which Chrome didn't support back then), so it was definitely a memorable annoyance for me, but I guess quite a few people didn't care.
