Yeah, people knew enough to ditch IE for Firefox, but I think Google’s marketing convinced everybody that Chrome was the best. Most people tell me they use Chrome because it’s the fastest.

Yeah early on when chrome was released on was a big proponent of it. But that was in Google’s earlier days before they adopted Microsoft’s EEE policy

  Really? I always hated it. It was such a resource hog compared to Firefox, and that only got worse as Firefox improved.
  
  My main Linux distro at the time, Fedora, wouldn’t even ship Chromium because of how difficult and inefficient it was to package. It leaves a bunch of Google crap on Mac too.
  
  Was it better on Windows or something? Because it’s always been crap on Linux and Mac.
