Why Google Chrome lasted

  • It made the browser fast, then made the browser into an OS, then made the web into Chrome.
  • Default distribution on Android plus 'download Chrome' as a reflex.

Why Firefox lasted

  • It is the last major browser engine that is not Chromium or WebKit, and that matters even when share is small.
  • A generation still installs it as a conscience.
