Its default is set to install Google chrome.Real player seems to be the first third party application promoting Google chrome.Google replaced Firefox browser in their recommended software pack.Google chrome even installs with the latest downloads of Google earth software.

Although this is a common practice used by many, It is slightly unusual for the search giant to play these kind of tricks.

To enter full screen mode in Google chrome.

Press the F11 key on your keyboard and see what happens :) , The difference between full screen mode in Google  chrome and other browsers is the address bar.There is no address bar available in the full screen mode, so you will have to get out of full screen to type in another URL.
