You sure hate it, that's fairly evident ;-)

I think that now the same thing is happening with Chrome being the default
browser on a gazillion tablets and phones.

It is what it is.

Those years of every tech, everywhere in the world, coming to a computer
screen and saying, "OMG, please stand well back Madame/Sir from your
computer; you are so lucky we got here on time." And then installing Chrome,
Firefox, Safari or Opera, making it the default browser and finally removing
all traces of IE, has finally produced the following results.

IE which at one time held almost 90 percent of the browser market, has
slipped to 31.8 percent. You have to wonder, given these statistics, if IE
was not installed on every copy of Windows, by default, being as it has been
such a curse to every web developer, would it now be any more than a
foot-note in the history of computing?
