It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

Even before that it was never the browser with the biggest market share

Between 2005 and 2007 it sort of felt like that for me. All kinds of computer-illiterate people were switching to Firefox.

I actually remember when Chrome first became a thing, I tried it then, used for some time as something cool, and then got back to Opera.

When opera committed suicide and replaced itself with chrome in an opera costume, I switched back to Firefox

I switched directly from IE to Opera, and then used mostly Opera until it died, and then Firefox.
