I can't imagine a world where this argument would be correct. Honestly, I'm appalled anyone would seriously consider this. Chrome is taking over due to inertia

I can't imagine a world where this argument would be correct. Honestly, I'm appalled anyone would seriously consider this.
Chrome is taking over due to inertia and many websites targeting it as the one and only legal implementation of web standards, regardless of the actual spec. "Please use Chrome to continue".
For example, despite Edge woes, the Trident-based version was markedly better looking, and better performing as long as the tabs count didn't get massive. It used native system APIs for input integration, rendering, scroll and memory management, making it much faster and efficient especially on low power devices. It's JS engine had issues, true, but despite that, it was a decent browser outperforming Chrome on many critical aspects of user experience. Safari is in the same vein but even better and without any issues mentioned before. It has power-efficient AdBlocking API, it uses correct HW for rendering content and it is more memory-friendly.
Again, and I can't stress this enough, Chrome and Chromium are developed by a company which main source of revenue is AdTech.
