Browsers ceased to be an at-scale consumer platform independent of distribution after Internet Explorer was released and crushed Netscape. There was a brief moment where Mozilla Firefox (thanks to IE6 stagnation) might have proven a counterfactual, but Google and Apple won the browser market on mobile and then desktop because of distribution. Consumers are fine if the default is good enough. Hard to make it 10x better.

If Firefox had agreed to actually do something about their dog slow JavaScript engine, Chrome would never have been a thing. Google had made some big gambles on web2, and when no browsers could actually run their apps they had to do it themselves, and I'm glad they did.

Highly doubt that. Download Chrome on Google homepage was the most valuable ad in the world. Also Google was funding Mozilla.
