    Oh it was already- Before Chrome became popular. When Chrome came out, only weird people used it. All my friends were FF kids.

      Chrome took over FF because of Chrome being a default Android web browser after replacing its vanilla/AOSP browser.

        It was better than Firefox at the time. Firefox only needed to be better than IE so it has become a bit of a ram-hungry bloaty mess, then Chrome came along and was actually really quick. How the tables have turned.

          Yep. I was very young at the time but what I remember is firefox being spoken of as kind of a “hack” to make everything web-based faster compared to IE.

          Then chrome came out and firefox was completely replaced. It felt like an instant change. Anyone that knew anything about computers was using chrome.

          I think that chrome is still living off its glorious past.

          Multi-process was huge. Firefox was pretty stagnant for a long time, and it took a long time to catch up.

          This also applies to Microsoft, but they’re too late, I guess.
