When Chrome came out it was unambiguously: * A safer browser. * A more performant browser. Which was more than enough for most of us to recommend everyone switch. Much the same was as when Firefox first came out it was unambiguously: * A safer browser. * A more performant browser. Which was more than enough for most of us to recommend everyone switch. The switching cost of a browser is quite low. The next browser to meet the above criteria will experience a similar jump in users. The challenge is in actually delivering a browser that can do so. The web standards are massively complex for many reasons, some of them legitimate. The barrier for entry is going up over time and shows no sign of slowing down.
