Sorry, but comparing Mozilla to the company that offers the about most visited website ever isn't exactly fair. Google had a lot of opportunities to push Chrome and they did. Doesn't really say a lot about product quality imho

And HN played an important role.

10-12 years ago, when Chrome appeared, HN was full of posts like "I switched my parents computer to Chrome", "I convinced my company to switch to Chrome", ...

Mozilla and its defenders love bashing others about anti-competitiveness but the truth is that their product, in its default configuration, doesn't bring much to the table for the typical user.

Back when Firefox did actually bring much to the table compared to the incumbent, it gained respectable marketshare: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32959277
