I think Chromium’s performance contributed a lot to its dominance. Browser distributions have to build off of it to be relevant.

Other than Ekioh’s Flow, I don’t know any other competitive attempts from companies building browser components from scratch.

The aggressive advertising on many of the most popular sites on the web also helped a lot, the occasional accidental breakage of other browsers on those same google properties also worked out in their favor.
