Pardon my reading comprehension right now, but are you bashing Chrome and saying people only use it because of Google's goofy advertisements endorsing Chrome?
I chose Chrome long before Google really worked on advertising it. I chose it for it's responsiveness, very quick javascript engine, instance based crash handling, compact and non-distracting address bar, built in sand boxed flash player, and several other reasons really. I understand the other browsers do some of these same things now but at one point in time Chrome was the first for many of these really cool features. These are reasons I went to Chrome.
Before Chrome, I was using Firefox because IE was simply terrible, we all know that. But honestly a couple years ago Firefox was really getting bloated itself. Chrome was refreshing. The road wasn't always smooth sailing, but I'm still happy with Chrome now. I like Firefox again as well, they've cleaned up a lot of the mess that was created. Not a fan boy, I just like riding the smoothest wave in the sea. Change is always good.
