It did in a domain I'm familiar with. I think they were the first to have separate processes for tabs (?) which you could really see add robustness - when flash could blow up your session etc you could much more easily close out the offending tab. They were stricter and more prompt in blocking things like activex controls, they'd remove features tabs would use to try to take control of your session or confuse you. All these enhanced security and usability.

There's no disagreement here. Chrome brought lots of good security enhancements, and raised the bar for other browsers, but security isn't the reason people made the switch. Yes, Chrome was the first to do process-isolation. As for ActiveX, I believe that's generally only available through Internet Explorer (not Edge), I don't think Chrome ever supported it.
