- int_19h 6y agoBack when NN and IE were still in heavy competition, users did choose IE - partly because it was better at standards in some respects (ironically), but mostly because it was free. Once that happened, IE-only websites proliferated, effectively locking the users into the ecosystem. We're now seeing the same process play out with Chrome. I agree that Chrome became dominant for better reasons than IE, but the outcome is harmful either way.
