Google Operating System's Alex Chitu reports that the latest version of Real Networks' RealPlayer comes bundled with Google Chrome and, by default, installs the browser.

Is RealPlayer the first third-party application used to promote Google Chrome? (Remember: Chrome has already replaced Firefox in Google Pack).

I gave the installation a shot, but I have Google Chrome already installed on my machine -- so the "Add-ons" menu didn't show up for me. Anyone else seeing Chrome bundled with RealPlayer?

Still, Chrome needs all the help it can get: the browser's market share is still low -- just 1.15 percent of global market share in February, according to Net Applications.
