How about Netscape communicator (I used it since 2003), then Firefox (first release was in 2004)?

There was Opera, as well.

But with all of these, you constantly ran into IE-only websites. Which got away with it because most people were running IE.

And that's why people are saying that Chrome is the new IE - because we're seeing that history repeating, with websites written only for and tested only on Chrome and Safari (and I doubt Safari would be anywhere if it weren't effectively forced onto iOS users).
