When Chrome launched no other browser could touch the javascript performance.
Other things we hadn't seen: Tabs up top. While you might say it's aesthetic, there's a reason other browsers are following suit. Lets also not forget per-tab processes. No other browser was attempting to alleviate the symptoms of a single-threaded web. Chrome changed that. Per-tab processes also allowed Chrome to be the first browser to reclaim system resources when a tab was closed. Then there's incognito mode, anti-phishing, and Chrome apps.
Of course, you've forgotten that Google either had most of these things first or approached them in radically new ways because they open sourced the whole thing and other browsers (smartly) were quick to integrate the best features of Chrome.
