Google managed to deliver a fast, thoughtfully designed browser that was an instant hit among users and Web developers alike.

If it works as intended on Chrome, it&rsquo;s ready to ship. This in turn results in more users flocking to the browser as their favorite Web sites and apps no longer work elsewhere, making developers less likely to spend time testing on other browsers. A vicious cycle that, if not broken, will result in most other browsers disappearing in the oblivion of irrelevance.
