Must say it's really hard to find who might have paid for a bundled installer. Filezilla I remember had a lot of those and some forum threads will mention a specific "offer" they got, but there's no listing anywhere, and it's not in the source code history because they were (so I just read) dynamically fetched from advertisement servers upon launching the installer. Searching the web for Google Chrome bundling (phrased a few different ways), you get mostly present-day results about how to install Chrome or how to bundle it as sysadmin in a Windows group policy or something. This is the one thread I found where it sounds like computer manufacturers bundled it, but if there's many more then I'm not sure I'd have found it
They did a fresh Windows install though, that wouldn't normally keep any software they previously had on there, but yes it's the best reference I could find. Feel free to find a better source yourself, I've tried
Must say I read over the bit about invisibly stealing IE clicks. That's obviously nonsense, Chrome was never malware
