With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

        I went straight from Mozilla Navigator to Firefox 1.0.

        Tabs were such a crazy new thing back then. You would show tabbed browsing to someone (rather than opening new windows) and they thought you were a wizard. IE5 didn’t have tabs, so nerds moved to Mozilla/Firefox. Then IE6 came out but still didn’t have tabs. By the time IE7 came out, I’d had tabbed browsing for 5+ years.

      Sorry, that’s 3rd best at most, according to the data above. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!

        I cannot be 100% certain but I’m confident I was using it not long after the 1.0 release. That’d put me at 2004. 19 years!

        Although I did briefly switch over to Chrome when it was new and fast. Then switched back when Firefox had a major optimization pass.
