      There was a huge gush over Chrome by developers and powerusers, influencing many many users to adopt Chrime; the same gush that happened over IE back in the day.

      Everyone developed everything for IE. Had to have it to be on a wide segment of the web. Same way with Chrome now.

      People have started falling off of Chrime /Google browsers just as they did Microsoft and IE; both times users finally realizing just how shite the company and browser were/are.

          After Google EEE’d chromium it was all over. A perfect bait & switch by google after everyone switched to chromium bases. MS fumbled the bag and now Goog is doing the same thing. People generally don’t like to be forced to do anything; and I’m with you and them.

        It’s reskinned safari. Same with Firefox. Apple doesn’t allow alternative browser engines currently, you have to use their WebKit frame to display the actual pages.

        This is what is changing per the EU’s ruling, and why browser extensions from the desktop versions will start to work on iPhones.
