Years ago I got my parents to switch from internet explorer to firefox by putting IE's icon over firefox...this has the same vibes. If you have someone technologically illiterate in your life who pretty much only uses the browser...yeah this idea could work.
I have an older friend that has no idea that his laptop uses Windows. He just wants to be able to browse Craigslist for cars and junk. Seems like he has to get a new laptop every two years because his "old one got too slow". I should do something like this for him. He'd never know the difference.
