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.
