A small story of Sundar Pichai
When Sundar Pichai (the current CEO of Google), proposed the idea of Google Chrome when he was not that senior (neither that junior) at Google. The people at Google said, what’s the use of another browser when Internet Explorer and Netscape were already dominating the world.
Now you know, where the Chrome is. It is not the matter of who does it first, but who does it right.
This is how the Chrome competed with Explorer and other browsers
Although the Microsoft introduced a new browser, MS Edge in the Windows 10, still many folks doesn’t like it mostly due to the reason of lack of functionality such as Inspect Elements, Extensions and themes. It can be assumed that Microsoft would learn some lesson and would implement the extensions functionality in the later updated versions of MS Edge.
Honestly speaking, I am so attached to Chrome that I don’t even give a damn to other browser. If you prefer another browser over Chrome, please let me know why so?
