Why (almost) everyone uses Chrome?

[darko999]

I used to use Vivaldi because it had all the settings I needed. However, it was slower than other chromium browsers. I ended up with Opera dev installed on a RAM disk. Very happy with it. Chrome is faster overall, compared to non chromium browsers.

Chrome is better in security
Firefox is better in privacy
Do what's best for you.
Edge is also very secure, launches fast, and it has a clean interface. I use it as my second browser, after Chrome.

Because it is fast and secure and Google is a big name.
I personally never used Chrome, but always went with Chromium based browsers such as Opera and Vivaldi. In my opinion Firefox was always behind Chrome/Chromium. Too much bugs, crash champion and Gecko was a slower rendering engine. New firefox is already a bit better, but they are way too late with these changes to come close to Chrome again. Never liked Mozilla at all.

I'm also a Chrome user and I'm satisfied with its' security features. Google Chrome has a very basic or simple design, that makes it easy to use. Also, it is faster than other browsers when it comes to installation, loading pages, etc. and it allows me to use an Incognito window that does not record my past history of log-ins.

I use chrome only for banking and that kind of stuff, then i have alternative browser with customization for browsing, like centbrowser, comodo ice dragon with more features

Back in 2010, Mozilla failed to deliver Firefox 4 on time. Switched to Chrome, 8 years and counting.

What it comes to is how you've experienced using both (if you have) and how you feel about both browsers.

Use which ever browser you like. Use the browser you feel using based off your own reasons, knowledge and experience.

With the above everyone would have a different route of how they've used a browser based on the 3.

I can Not stand Chrome when it comes to Webpage Rendering.
Firefox Quantum x64, here.

 

[tonibalas]

After the launch of FF Quantum a chromium is used as a secondary on my system.
I am using FF beta these days and i am very satisfied with it's performance.
Although RAM usage is bigger than Chromium browsers i found out that with the latest builds FF is using less CPU than Chromium.
Last thing, although Chromium browsers are safer than FF i rely on other software to have my system secure.

Chrome = security

Google Chrome is the only browser that works perfectly in all the websites I visit, although I don't trust Google, Vivaldi is not ready to be my main browser as it's still unstable, lacking features and some extensions don't work.

I trust Opera even less than Chrome since it was acquired by the Chinese. Never liked Mozilla Firefox either, was always overrated, back in the day I used Internet Explorer and was proud of it (was lighter and way more stable than Firefox).

Microsoft Edge is my secondary browser at the moment, but I rarely use it (as I said, Chrome is the only browser that works perfectly in all the websites I visit).

I like SeaMonkey. Even the Blackhats don't know about it.

Everybody who have watched your great videos know this, but do you have a second favorite?

And the best at chrome is the translator. Persons like me with bad english is the only choice. Without chrome i can t stay to MalwareTips

 

[Freki123]

I mean, watching videos or something like that, almost everyone has Chrome as their main browser. How so? Chrome is not that good, I think

My guesses would be:
If you buy a new pc or laptop which browser is often preinstalled (besides maybe IE)? From what i saw it was often chrome.
Or you download a software and its often bundled with a checkbox to install chrome and make it your new main browser.
So if a user buys a pc with preinstalled browser chances are high he/she will stick with it. (People reading forums like this will have other reasons i guess )

I use Chrome (cent) and Fire Fox differently. Although Firefox can also translate with add-ons, I feel bad usability such as being unable to move to the link on the translated page.
It feels that Chrome is worth using even just the translation function.

The marketing claims made by publishers about their browsers are just that... marketing claims. The whole argument of which is faster, which is most secure, etc, etc is meaningless. The claims of one browser being more secure than another are almost never substantiated. Browser security is often over-hyped, twisted and over-estimated. And deep investigations of browsers only adds to the nauseating confusion. The studies are sometimes flawed, poorly explained, etc. Most users don't understand them - not even the technically correct ones.

Use the browser that works best for you personally on your specific system. You won't know unless you try them all.

I liked palemoon alot, i've wanted to give seamonkey a try for long time but after i see this post i think im gonna give it a shot right now

 

[Handsome Recluse]

I don't know about that, I think there are more advanced users that use chrome than you think, you can use this forum as an example.

Desktop Linux users and panopticlick visitors use mostly Firefox and there are probably more of them there.

 

[Andrew999]

I personally use Vivaldi as my default, but Opera as backup.
