It's worth noting that Chrome was just legitimately a good product in a space where the competition wasn't blowing any minds. The people that switched over saw how much better a browser can be and spread the word.
- tempest_ 11mo agoFor sure. For a couple years Chrome was noticeably faster than IE/FF which is what caused tech oriented people to switch. FF and even IE closed the gap for a little bit but once Chromes dominance took old I imagine the fact that no one tests things on FF any more has probably caused it to slip performance wise.
- torben-friis 11mo agoAllowing the user to pull tabs into its own windows and merge them back was magic back then, as was including search and url in a minimalistic bar, when other browsers had 3-row bars at times. Such a simple and elegant product. How the mighty have fallen.
