      Correct. 65% of all human internet traffic is unmodified Chrome.

      When Firefox was slow, Internet Explorer was clunky and didn’t render anything correctly, and scrappy upstart with a “Don’t be evil” slogan and great search engine Google came out with a new fast, memory efficient web browser, all us nerds ran out and told everyone “look! The internet doesn’t suck anymore! Use Chrome!” We were all amazed that we could have like 5 tabs open on our PCs with a whole gigabyte of RAM.

      The normies echoed this through time, never unchanging - “my kid says ‘Chrome’ is the good one”. Even when sites started breaking when viewed in other browsers…didn’t we just finish fighting this “standards” war? Isn’t this what we destroyed Internet Explorer for?
