> "What was the biggest browser when Chrome launched? It was Firefox"
No way. Internet Explorer had about 70% of the market, with Firefox at about 15%.
Today Chrome has basically the same marketshare as IE back then. Courts found that Microsoft created IE's dominant position by abusing its monopoly, and now it seems to be Google's turn.
Oops, sorry, you’re right. The biggest browser was IE. The same rhetorical argument holds… IE isn’t even on death’s door. It’s so dead that I forgot about it.
