I disagree with this. When chrome was released the ideal target for a web developer was Internet explorer, because everyone who wasn't a technology enthusiast just used the built-in browser. Many business related websites still required internet explorer to function properly years after IE was discontinued. Additionally, this video shows FireFox's marketshare was still increasing, even two years after chrome was first released. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/internet-browser-market-share/ https://www.visualcapitalist.com/internet-browser-market-sha... The reason google Chrome succeeded is because it was a better browser. It syncs all your favorites, passwords, and history with the google account you already have. It works on every platform. And Firefox had several years where it just wasn't very good. I was a Firefox user but around the time they killed legacy extensions I bailed. I remember helping many family members when their Internet Explorer was filled with spyware toolbars taking up 50% of their screen. I would just install chrome and log them into their gmail account and never have to fix it again. As others have mentioned, Safari was available on windows for many years.
