I remember when Chrome was released, all marketing was on how much faster it rendered webpages, I never saw that as an issue, Firefox was fast enough, I tried Chrome for a bit, and hated the UI, I remember being confused as to why everyone loved Chrome suddenly, and frankly, I still am a bit confused by both the sudden shift, and the absolute market dominance by Chrome...

Chrome is very good at running Google's pages. Even before Google owned YouTube chrome was better at YouTube.

Google bought YouTube in 2006, Chrome was publicly released in 2008, so I believe you are misremembering the events...

Entirely possible, I was pretty busy in my early career back then

The interesting thing is that I was quite certain that I tested it in 2006, but there is zero evidence that that could have happened.
