Are you talking about Netscape? Because that was installed on everything ;)
>because google spend billions marketing Chrome in early 2000
Really? Early 2000?
- BiteCode_dev 8mo agoNo, firefox was first called phoenix (because it was seen as a rebirth of the netscaoe ethos) then firebird. Netscape got killed by ie 5.5 and firefox competed mostly with ie 6 on Market and opera on innovation. And yep, i think 2008 was first chrome ad on google search. It hurts but we are a quarter century in now.
