in my experience the browser went through a poor engineering phase just as Chrome was getting good, and that continued for quite some time, the mobile browser took a very wayward turn a few years ago
oddly this happened at the same time as Rust and Firefox OS appeared which i think are phenomenal achievements
so Chrome ate Firefox's lunch and the series of weird CEOs have compounded that by attempting to cover it up with progressive sounding PR
