Thanks for clobbering a working, useful, addon-rich version of Chrome with a fresh yet non-working and useless version during my ‘upgrade’ to 7. I’m usually pretty careful about not installing bundled software, but that one got by me somehow. Perhaps it’s because I expect unwanted 3rd party interference with my PC not to come from an AV solution intended to prevent that type of thing.
The choice to install was plain to see. You are using a free product that requires constant development and in put from a large body of people and you complain about an add on ? Do you work for nothing?
Most free programs have either add ons or adverts to fund them somewhere along the line.
Overwriting an existing Chrome install, there is no way that was intentional. You are not the only one to report it, but it is the first time I have seen it in awhile.
