Missing the boat on cloud computing while they were flailing away at social is pretty strong evidence of that

The web was pretty bad pre-Chrome. Browsers were much slower and much less compatible. Things started to get worse once Chrome market share got to a third, or so, and Google started driving the direction of the web.

Remember when Chrome was flaunted as the fastest browser? Now it's just bloated.

I do, but I also switched back to Firefox recently (after using Chrome for ten years) and it's slower. What _is_ the fastest feature-complete browser in 2019?

[hi41]

I used to a big fan of Google. I bought chrome book but now I am unhappy because I can’t run Firefox on it. Next I will buy windows pc because you have the ability to install Firefox on it.

Edge Dev is pretty darn fast.

[monocasa]

Isn't Edge switching to being a skinned Chromium?

[sixothree]

Yes. Edge Dev is a Chromium flavor.

It's not that Chrome itself is a problem but rather the way that Google releases updates for Chrome which damages the ecosystem. Build a good browser that helps users load elements faster and enjoy the web more? Always good!

Changing this same browser to make your sites load faster while not announcing these changes so your competitors scramble while meanwhile you go "what, me worry?"

Just pathetic really. It's not like they were trying to push us past some inefficiencies, just taking us to ones they owned.
