I know that the jump to chrom was aided by a number of factors, with one of the bigger ones being how fluid technology use was at the time. Everything was new and anything could become number 1.

Still it's so frustrating that when firefox had the memory leak and "took a long time to launch" the web was flooded with complaints and people jumping to chrome and congratulating google on what a modern browser they built.

Meanwhile everytime chrome gets caught with high memory usage, pushing their own web standards, or destroying adblock and a free web as we know it, the internet as a whole shrugs as if there isnt anything that can be done.

Remember Google AMP? And Google was proxying sites that implemented it? That shit would have been so abused if it had reached as critical mass as Chrome
