When Chrome first came out it was applauded for things developers and powerusers cared about: a sandboxed multiprocess approach, a fast JavaScript engine, low memory footprint (this is hilarious in 2017), open-source, a task manager, etc.

Remember this guy? [1] It's a 40 page comic book of stuff the masses would never care about.

ISTR they said they didn't care about browsers, but they wanted to show other browsers how they thought it should be done.. with no intent for long-term investment... But as a true weasel I have nothing to reference.
