I was wondering when browsers started calling the UI "chrome" (it's not a Google thing!)

Amazingly, the Firefox (then Mozilla) commit that introduced the "chrome" tree into the source code dates back to Sep 4, 1998... which is also the same day Google was founded!

Edit: Netscape used the term much earlier though! Not as much in filenames, but in the actual source code it's all over the place.
