Even before that it was never the browser with the biggest market share

Between 2005 and 2007 it sort of felt like that for me. All kinds of computer-illiterate people were switching to Firefox.

I actually remember when Chrome first became a thing, I tried it then, used for some time as something cool, and then got back to Opera.

When opera committed suicide and replaced itself with chrome in an opera costume, I switched back to Firefox

I switched directly from IE to Opera, and then used mostly Opera until it died, and then Firefox.
