If Internet Explorer managed to fall from 96% market share to complete irrelevance, Chrome is not immortal either.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

You arent wrong. But, acectdata and mine own, convenience drove that. People are fucking lazy and hate nothing more than to be inconvenienced. When chrome was getting traction, explorer was trasshhhhhhhhh and every one knew it.

Chrome might be a bit bloated but its no explorer. If it doesn't hurt people to stay, I don't think we'll see a shift.

Back then internet users werent normies, but nreds and tech savy people. Also, chrome learned from IE's mistakes. It wont stop functioning and will keep updating, so the average normy user wont mind.

With the way every site is these days, removing adblock is worse than not functioning

I genuinely don't know how Ill use the web without ad block. Cause I damn sure ain't going back to paying for anti-virus like in the 90's for a web experience that is objectively worse and less magical enough to risk it.

Drive by malware and viruses from ads has gotten scarily good at infecting systems without you knowing. It's worse than ever as it's not just a sketchy site issue thing anymore either. Even reputable sites have ads that only take one misclick to infect you now

Times have changed. The userbase that dropped IE was a vastly different one. With the internet being more accessible and more alluring to the massed (i.e. because of social media) convenience is king.
