When Chrome came out, the other big argument in its favor[1] was stability and security due to how it isolated tabs (and plugins) into separate OS processes.
Firefox supports something similar now, but it definitely didn't at the time.

- chlorion 4y agoIts only within the last year or so that Firefox supports OS level process based site isolation! Chromium supported it from the start afaik! Even to this day Chromium is superior wrt security, but I am sure the gap has narrowed quite a bit.
