- mrtksn 4y ago> and marketing. If I recall correctly, Google was paying 1$ per install, so everyone was promoting Chrome and Chrome was actually better than Firefox. Firefox then made a lot of missteps, tried to make a push open video and audio codecs for idealistic reasons and lost. They also failed to catch on Chrome's performance for quite a long time. They spent a lot of resources into experiments that went nowhere.
