"New engine" may not matter, but "fast" probably does.

"New engine" may not matter, but "fast" probably does.
- kk_cz 9y agoMy experience is anecdotal of course, but IMHO "fast" is something tech savy users are looking for. "Which one is the Internet" or "I know this icon from a big shiny ad" is how non-tech folks function. Full disclaimer: Years spent supporting end users might have negatively affected my view of the "average user".
- Sylos 9y agoYeah, I do think your view is a bit skewed. There's an ever-growing number of users that grew up with computers, who know at least how to install a different program on their own, despite most definitely not being a techie either. And even among techies, I think you overestimate how many actually care about much else than "fast" when it comes to a browser. Just look at how many techies run Chrome. It's usually not the most wizardly of techies, but a good number of techies either way.
