> A narrative Googlers might tell you, sure. But that has no historical reality. There is a historical account of Google devs submitting improvements to Firefox which were delayed or not merged and that led to the desire to just create a new browser. I will need to search for the Firefox PRs if they exist to verify that story. Chrome really set the benchmark for browser performance and reliability when it came out.
