Sony Signs Chrome Browser Deal With Google

Sony has signed a deal with Google that will see the computer maker ship machines with the Chrome browser pre-installed.

Sony today said that all of its Vaio-brand PCs sold in the U.S. will ship with Google's Chrome as their default Web browser. The deal marks a first for Google, as the search company has never forged such a deal with a computer maker before. First reported in the Financial Times, a Google spokesperson confirmed the reports and called the deal "experimental," continuing on to say that the search giant is in talks with other manufacturers regarding similar deals.

How many of you use Google Chrome? More importantly, would you choose Chrome as your default browser if it were already installed on your computer when you bought it. Let us know in the comments below!

I use it. Tried going back to IE and Firefox, but they just aren't as slick.

When IE 8 came out I stopped using it and tried a few different browsers and settled on chrome.

Chrome is fantastic, much quicker than IE. I haven't used FF or Opera in anger but I find the simplicity of chrome ideal.

I have no need for add-ons or more features. I just want to look round the net as quickly as possible.
