> How is Chrome anymore of technical success than other browsers?

When chrome was new it was extremely innovative with how much space it gave to websites, and also came with orders of magnitude faster javascript. The other browsers then copied Chrome so all of them are now fast and sleek, but back then the difference was huge.

Orders of magnitude faster than JavaScriptCore in 2008?

Yes, it depends on what benchmarks you ran though. Example:

I specifically asked about JavaScriptCore - the (open source) JS engine part of Safari.
