> Chrome is so popular because it has been the best browser for years. Whether that's still true is open for debate. But I remember when it came out, finally an answer to the godawful shite that was IE. We may dislike it now, but it saved us from Microsoft's disaster.

That wasn't Chrome at all. It was Firefox. Where is this history re-write coming from. Firefox lost market-share when they went to Australis and became followers of Chrome instead of leaders (helped in part no doubt by funding from Google).
