When Chrome launched, it only launched with ~2-3% market share in the first week compared to Firefox. Everyone thought that Chrome wasn't that good and Firefox would be fine. However I knew on day one that Firefox was in serious trouble and I switched browsers immediately. But what I didn't know is that Firefox would do nothing to compete for 10 years.

Chrome launched with an absurd amount of money to burn, though. And... I don't recall this "everyone" that you are citing. Chrome launched when Google had a ton of good will.

      Yeah, no idea where I got this $100bn number in my head... I guess that does sound pretty ridiculous now that I think about it!
