  • Chrome was also shoved down user’s throats by being bundled with all kinds of software. When you downloaded programs from places like SourceForge, Softonic and similar, your download (when you installed it) had “Install Chrome Browser” already checked. If you forgot to uncheck the box, you ended up having to uninstall Chrome. It was the most annoying thing ever.











  • There are certain types of rubber/plastic that do this when they degrade, as others have mentioned. I had a small HDD with a rubberized coating on it and rubbing alcohol started to speed it’s degradation and it was a horrific mess. I also had a rubber mallet from a discount tool store that started to stink so bad, and it too was sticky and degrading. And (oh, you thought I was done…) I had some small Rubbermaid totes that I purchased at Walmart over 15 years ago that started to feel greasy and sticky when I touched them. I washed all of them multiple times until I realized the plastic was not cured and was breaking down. At least those did not stink. They only lasted 1 year before that happened.
