You're severely downplaying the importance of Firefox. It had a 30% market share before Chrome even existed.

  It was ignored by many developers, especially in the corporate world. Pages did not render well

    That is true. However, by the time Chrome rolled along, most sites rendered fine in Firefox, and Safari had also been around for quite some time already. Chrome certainly helped to accelerate the pace of standards-compliant site design, but the trend was already underway before it existed.

      Yes, Apple had 4% market share. Anyway, read what I wrote the first time. I nailed it. The fact that you were so far off on your estimate really makes me think you are misremembering.

  By the way, I fact checked you and you're incorrect. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2893514/an-incredibly-shrinking-firefox-faces-endangered-species-status.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2893514/an-incredibly-s... http://kuwaitiful.com/tag/ie-market-share/ http://kuwaitiful.com/tag/ie-market-share/

    Depends on which metrics you look at. Regardless, 25% vs. 30% doesn't change the substance of the argument.
    • melling 11y ago
      You aren't paying attention to what you are saying, or the facts. Chrome was released in 2006. Firefox didn't have 20% then. In fact, it looks like it's 15%.
