Chrome was so lightweight and fast when it was launched. And it had a blazing fast Javascript engine. No other engine came close to it.

It was a pretty awesome browser back then during the "do no evil" era of Google.

Sure, I get what you are saying, but I never had an issue with Firefox and Javascript.

Oh, I understand. I'm just saying that the reasons were enough for a lot of people to give it a go, me included. You probably had a beefed up machine back then in 2008. I didn't, and launching a browser took several seconds, whereas Chrome launched like in one second or so.

Of course, Chrome started to suck and I came back to Firefox, especially when they caught up with Javascript.

I think it had more to do with the webites I visited, and being used to slower connections
