HN was so hyped when chrome came out. Pushing it hard. A few people were saying, um guys, chrome is made by a company that sells ads, this is not going to work out well. | ||

Chrome launched in an era where IE didn't stop the gazillion pop ups and crashed pretty often losing dozens of windows, before tabbed browsing and with no restore. Firefox was a resource hog due to memory fragmentation. Google was also the company that espoused, "Do no evil" and contributed a bunch to open source. A lot has changed since then. | ||

Children who were born when Chrome came out can vote in the midterms next year. If your prediction takes as long to mature as a newborn baby, it's maybe _too_ prescient. | ||

Everyone was hyped when Chrome came out. This is hard to believe but the world was different 20 years ago | ||
