Your version of history is bizarre. Firefox was the one that stole the market from IE. Chrome saved us from a (at the time) very sluggish Firefox.

- pyrale 2y agoFirefox was never #1. It had a very slow adoption curve driven by organic growth, and just when it started being a significant competitor, at about 25-30% of market share, Chrome got released and advertised to death (and also bundled in so many unrelated stuff like a malware), and its adoption skyrocketed. Still, when Chrome released, IE was at about 65% market share.
- jarsin 2y agoYup, it felt like overnight we could use the excuse "just use Chrome" to avoid those nasty IE workarounds.
