But I assume you are referring to Chrome spends a week at the top of the browser charts

Could it be something to do with the article's comments?

There's a few odds and ends of software now that have tick boxes to install Chrome -- I wonder if it's just the standard 'Gimme, gimme, I don't want to read anything' click and go. Posted Tuesday 22nd May 2012 09:52 GMT

More than a few.

My impression is that unless you're someone with an opinion, who's decided that you want to stick with your browser of choice, you end up getting Chrome installed and defaulted by accident.

Or even this?

Sounds Plausible. I was astonished recently to find that I couldn't buy tickets online because someone had decided to sell them via Google Checkout which you can't use unless you open a Google account! PayPal and Nochex (for example) don't require you to sign up to pay.

Chrome is just Firefox with proprietary Google spyware added.

I've currently got several dozen tabs open in Firefox on Linux.

It's not exactly fast when starting up because it refreshes them all from some mixture of cache and refreshed pages, but it's coping surprisingly well.
