Do they have to completely dismantle Internet Explorer in order to be
successful..?
Absolutely. IE has been a cancerous blot on the web for about half a
decade,
impeding standardization and innovation in browsers. Once enjoying 95%
dominance, it's lost nearly a quarter of its user base
But by that logic, even though Firefox and Opera and Safari have
obtained significant pieces of the market, they are not "successful"
either, because IE is still around and prominent.
I would agree that Chrome can't be the dominant browser without IE
becoming mostly defunct, and probably not without having to go through
(destroy) Firefox and Opera and Safari in the process, but defining
"success" only in terms of being the Last Browser Standing doesn't
seem to match either reality or how Google works.
