This seems like an attempt to rewrite history. I was an avowed Firefox user, but Firefox was slow. I bought a EEE PC and Firefox was just too heavy to run, whereas Chrome ran fine. Eventually all my computers ran Chrome because Firefox wasn't the best option anywhere any more.

As an avid Firefox user, I must admit that Chrome was better for a long time – largely due to two reasons: - Mozilla diverting devs towards Firefox OS; - Mozilla attempting to maintain the old XUL/XPCOM-based add-ons architecture. Both of these hurt Firefox a lot. Since Firefox 57, though, Firefox is back to being really quick. On the other hand, most (non-dev) people I know who installed Chrome did it for marketing reasons – oftentimes simply because they had installed an anti-virus or Flash, which came bundled with Chrome – not out of actual merit.
