Funny how history can be subjective. I remember Firefox in this exact role, several years earlier prior to Chrome, which is why I've never received Chrome as some kind of saviour, only as additional competition.
- adrian_mrd 6y agoTotally agree re: Firefox also playing that role a decade or so ahead of Chrome, then losing it somewhat during Chrome's ascendancy: perceptions of bloat, slower dev releases, RAM hog on some PCs, no per-tab process isolation, etc
