The vast majority of people do not care about security, privacy, etc. at all.
Chrome achieved dominion simply because it's better to use than anything else, it also doesn't help that Firefox also Mozilla'd itself into irrelevance.
- jacquesm 3y agoChrome achieved dominion because it was pushed heavily by Google abusing their monopoly. If Chrome had been fielded by a small software company (assuming they could have) it would have maybe reached parity with FF but it would have never gotten to the dominant position that it has today. All of those 'download Chrome here' and all of those articles that happen to move to the top of your search results add up to a pretty big competitive advantage.
