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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 years ago* Multi-process was huge.
