I'd contributed loss of users to the fact that Chrome gets pushed to the users anywhere it's possible by one of the biggest ads company in the world, especially on by Google maintained platforms which than obviously make people to use it more, because avg user don't wanna deal with what's better. They want to just click and get on the web.

Same situation used to be with IE which BTW deformed web as well. MS' IE used to be preinstalled on Windows which were mainstream platform to get to the web back in the day. IE also had its specifics and worked "non-standard" way. So websites had to be developed for browsers and for specifically hacked for IE.
