It may have been IE5 but one of the IEs had such a pitiful JavaScript engine we started recommending FireFox to the clients that didn't want to wait 30 seconds for an update. Later we recommended Chrome when Firefox started getting flaky. It came full circle when Edge v2 became chromium based and could run a modern Angular webapp without falling over. By then many browsers were chromium based which widened the selection. I used Brave with no problem.
