You would have been down voted to hell for saying this here when Chrome came out. But I bet you know this already.

Google did to Firefox what it did to Yahoo, Altavista, Excite etc. When you can sell ‘6 minutes Abs’ who would buy ‘7 minutes Abs’?

Chrome was faster when it came out. I was on Win7 back in the days and I was being down voted. The proof is in the pudding.
