Dominated, maybe. But definitely not killed. There was never just one contender for the crown. IE vs Netscape, then IE vs. Firefox nee Firebird nee Phoenix, then IE vs Firefox vs Chrome, and now Firefox vs Chrome

There's a bit of a gap between when netscape was relavent and when firefox/firebird/phoneix was.

Yes there were other browsers, and yes there existed people who used them, but it was very small
