Google Chrome is certifiably evil. No conjecture, just fact.

A friend 'accidentally' installed Google Chrome because it came with an Adobe Flash update and she failed to opt out of the automatic download and installation.

OK, that's uncool, but not evil. The evil part is that if you uninstall Chrome, it breaks URL links in Outlook and Excel documents. Now, THAT'S evil. It takes a registry hack to repair the damage.

If you use Linux, installing Chrome is apparently now the only way to get Flash updates. No new versions of Flash will be released for other browsers.

Google Chrome is certifiably evil.

Yet their corporate motto is "Don't be evil." I'd call that Orwellian, but Google has my IP address...
