Everyone Uses Chrome. But Why?

Chrome is so basic and boring, i use firefox

it would be nice if the browser bar put things in alphabetical order

X browser

I use chrome as It has more customisation In terms of extensions which Firefox had at one stage but no more, Chrome syncs everything nicely between my PC & mobile phone & It performs better than Firefox.

I use Brave. Yes I know it is based off of Chromium. But is still good.

i use vivaldi

I'll tell you a story. One time i was coding a chrome extension, as you do... and i started hating chromium REALLY badly because they're docs are terrible! (Also hm if chromium changed up their api docs and now its fine then sorry, but chromium deserved this). For some time, i even switched to firefox! Also i'm a mac user ye... pretty old mac tho lmao.

I use chrome cause I heard for a long time it was good and I've had no problems he-haw

(Also most of my stuff is in Google accounts but that was after I became an Android user)

I used to use chrome but whenever i scanned my pc i got hit with so many tracking cookies that i changed to Firefox. Much more private.

on my main pc i have to use firefox cause chrome got a virus. on dumb pcs i download pale moon.

I use Chrome because it's well integrated with Google services.

i use brave 😄

I just figured that people use Google Chrome because they enjoy multiple zero day exploits, and privacy invasion.

nah i use brave browser

This is from the future and we all advanced users are switching to Firefox again like the good old days.

i use opera gx not cuz im a gamer, just because of the good optimization features. cuz my pc sucks now. back then it could handle google chrome just fine for some reason.

Google and apple are just forcing you to buy their products

This history is a bit confused. Firefox was the from-the-ground rewrite for a more dynamic web. Chrome was a fork of Safari (which in turn was a fork of kHTML).

well I get the point. but... let me tell ya. when I found GX opera... it's like I found myself! I always hated chrome... yes I know Chromium is everywhere, but the browser itself... specially for laptop users... sucks all my power. so yeah I know chrome is very popular, but doesn't mean is the best for sure. Safari well.. is still good enough for emergencies

I never use chrome just firefox

Not me i use opera gx

Firefox user here.
Before that existed, Mozilla, Netscape 6 and Netscape 4.

nuh uh i use vivaldi (it is chromium so yeah i use chrome :\)

that musk comment aged like milk. dude's loony.

I was using Firefox for many years. But then the dev dools went bad and I instantly switched and the tools felt much better. Chrome and it's engine are well made. Firefox is not bad but why use it instead during development if I can do my work better and quicker with Chrom (or Chromium)?

Btw I never used Internet Explorer. On PC my first browser I rly remember was Netscape. From Netscape I went over to Mozilla (Firefox). From there to Chrome. If someone would release a better Browser I would switch again.

You forgot to mention Firefox.

idk

Firefox user since Opera left presto.

Chrome: When you're deliberately trying to give all your data to Google

reality is most people want less hassle and use things that can make life easier for them and not get aggravated just trying to browse a webpage. chrome provides all of that.

Firefox FTW

Firefox!

Hackers reportedly breached Chrome. Please do a video on which browser we should use now.

It was not developed from ground up as you said, but it used Apple’s « WebKit » until 2017 and components from Firefox !

If Elon Musk made a browser I'd migrate at day one.

really? Im still using Firefox from back in the day. I tried chrome, but meh... i dont see it as any better and... its google.

The Google Chrome switch on in the background with .... 45% RAM usage .... ergo- is the top filetheft software in the world.

We need to use alternatives just to prevent this monopoly. It may be the best browser for you but consider using different ones. Just because of this, I use Firefox.

Thumbs down for false and mixed up facts. Chrome got popular because it was bundled to popular installers like Skype and Winamp and dumb users just did not uncheck preselected drive-by install of Chrome. Firefox was stable as continent at that time, google maps ran just as well on firefox, dropbox did not exist or was obscure at that time. All why Chrome got popular is bundled installs, stincking Chrome installs to users like Microsoft is peddling the Edge to everyone and then it just got momentum as a proof to theory that majority of people are dumb.

I personally never found any feature of Chrome that is better than other browsers have it. Tried to use Chrome and Chromium as my second browsers. They just are not worth it. Even Opera feels bad since it switched from Presto to Chromium engine. Firefox also adopted the dumbed down default interface of Chromium and started to participate in version numbers race. The browser ecosystem now looks really bad like when it was dominated by IE and Mozilla browsers were still in development.

I remember long time ago....I tried Chrome.....and imported all bookmarks and passwords from my Firefox profile....Chrome CRASHED.
I've tried it few times....but....Chrome was "too weak" I guess.
Still is.

Long live Firefox!

Opera.

When Google Chrome browser first came out, two independent computer magazines warned against using it, because it's allegedly a form of tracking software that can be used to spy on people. With all the problems of Google Analytics being integrated into many websites, I don't know why anyone would voluntarily use a browser that directly collects that information.

Everyone Asks Click-bait Questions. But Why?

First of all, your question is invalid. How can "Everyone" use Chrome when everyone isn't even online? Yeah, yeah, I get what you're saying: the majority of internet surfers. DUH. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. It must've been a real slow day if you're answering OBVIOUS QUESTIONS. It's a little insulting.

"Why does everyone use plastic grocery bags?" Hmmm, that's a hard one, can I think about that for a second? Oh, it's because THAT'S WHAT THEY GAVE US

I can do this all day long.

"Why does everyone wear blue jeans" Gee, I really don't know? Can I use a life-line? BRB... Okay my mom says: BECAUSE MOST JEANS ARE BLUE!
"Everyone Drives Automatic Cars. But Why?" Again, another brain-twister. I think I'm stumped.
"Everyone Uses Showers? But Why?"
"Everyone Hangs Their Clothes In A Closet. But Why?"
WHY WHY WHY WHY do people use the things they are provided with?

I'm using Brave, but just like Edge, is Chrome-based. It even reports to the web as Chrome.

I use Brave, but i do use EDGE to pay certain bills because Brave is too "private" for local state government sites like if i try to pay a ticket it wont accept my blocking my location

because no one trusts microsoft
same goes for windows / edge
path of lest hassle for people to get access to net
if both make wrong steps there is no one else
until anone else can challenge they essentialy have a monopoly
but we do not necessarily trust any of these big tech info companies
they have all shown how dishonest and manipulative they are

I love how the Musk genius trope has aged terribly

Why? Because google uses underhanded tactics to get it onto your computer and make sure it stays there by paying dishonest app creators to sneak install it. Chrome is a cancer on the internet, an adware, spyware riddles trojan horse produced by the world's largest advertising agency, thats ALL google is.

I’ve stoppes using Chrome as my PC has some weird issues with it? I use Firefox now and actually IMO it’s better.

i use chrome at home and edge at work, both are good for me i have 16gbs of ram and never had any issues
