IE6 was so painful because it was performant (great for end users), but closed source and full of bugs that the developers had to work around to not look stupid from the non-tech world (instead MS fixing them over time). This was happening for a long time (10-15 years), which was very frustrating. I don't think Google Chrome is that bad for the world.
