@fluffy I never realized that this happened until I heard about it very recently, and don't understand why it happened either.
The way it was back in the time:
- If you're tech illiterate, you use IE because it's what Windows offers by default.
- If you're moderately nerdy, you use FF or Chrome, and there's never been a really big advantage of either over the other so they were always toe to toe.
- If you're a hipster you use Safari (Apple hipster) or Opera (non-Apple hipster).
What changed? Why's everyone preferring Chrome over FF all of a sudden, and who taught all the boomers to avoid IE?

Online banking sites and social media sites began to require it and then Microsoft began to force Edge on you even if you have a reason to use IE (managing some old equipment for example).

Now Chrome is bloated, FF is better on memory but overall it sucks, and the other major competitors gave up. Brave works the best for me, and no other browser has a compelling use case to switch.
