- hnlmorg 3y agoBecause Google is still a household brand. Everyone is familiar with Google search, Google Mail, Google Maps, Android, etc. And Chome came at a time when people were fed up with Internet Explorer. There was a gap in the market when Chrome came along. Remember that Firefox was beating the competition for a period back then too. But Mozilla isn’t a household name like Google. You don’t say “I Mozilled something last night.” Google is such a common name that people literally use it as a verb. But that all said, if Chome was released today with Edge being where it’s currently at (yes, I know Edge is based on Chromium, but let’s look past that for the sake of this hypothetical), Google would have a harder job gaining market share.
