> Chrome completely dominated them on the simple basis that it was _really fast_.

It isn't that simple - a lot of Chrome's success came because they "made it work" in ways that Firefox (horribly wasteful of CPU, memory, battery life) and IE (shambles in every department) didn't. Also helped in large part by having an enormous web monopoly pushing it and favouring it for their properties.

But you're definitely right that it came after them.
