  This is a problem with the way Windows handles "default browser".
Whenever the default browser is uninstalled, the file associations and
scheme handlers gets all horked up.  It's not specific to Chrome; any
browser will cause this.  Thank Microsoft for trying to cram MSIE down
everyone's throat in the 90s; we're still paying for that decision.

  Which is not to say that bundling unrelated products isn't evil,
too.  If the Adobe/Google thing you describe hadn't bundled Chrome
that way, you wouldn't have had to deal with this in the first place.
