> Chrome is still innovating, but now end-users hate it, because it's trying to be too much.

Of the items in the link, only one is “adding functionality”.

The others are (1) not supporting an image file format and (2) removing functionality from extensions.

> IE was absolutely hated for not evolving

IE was also hated for activex along with a number of non-standard extensions added to support Microsoft use cases. See https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/ie-5-5-anger... for adding new html elements and a new system of dhtml behaviors as an example of syntax only supported by IE.

It might be surprising, but that is not an exhaustive list of what Chrome has been doing "recently".

Thanks for that link. Though I'm a bit confused by the date, wasn't IE6 already out by then?
