because ie is default and ie is shit

Because it's objectively superior in terms of performance to every other browser. Only schizos use weird, obscure browsers...as if their government actually cares about some fat, unimportant retard.

Every big google site spams you with tooltips and banners telling you to download Chrome if you don't have an adblocker enabled

>Normies use google search engine

Default browser

based

Don't the majority of Jow Forums also use Chrome? You guys dislike Firefox, Opera and Brave so what's left? Some unknown Chromium based browser which probably still secretly a botnet?

chrome offering any kind of superior performance is factually false and you know it

Lol... as if normies care about performance. From a regular user's perspective (who does nothing but basic, everyday web browsing) all browsers perform about the same. Only technically-minded people who pay attention to the numbers care about that.

The real answer is advertising and brand recognition. Almost everyone uses Google Search and their various products (Gmail, Docs, etc), and their website throws it in your face if it detects that you're using a browser that isn't Chrome. It's a highly recognizable brand that most people trust so of course they're going to switch to their browser too.

Also the fact that Chrome IS actually a default app on most Android smartphones.

This, it's not hard to figure out. Google basically controls most of the web and ads that are displayed because they are also an ad company. They have their fingers in everything. You try and use one of their many services and once they realize you aren't using chrome they display ads for it and normies eat it up. Fuck Google.

No it's true.
I use a shit ton of extensions and custom scripts, and have hundreds of tabs open at once.
My performance and ram usage is ass but at least it's ok on chrome.
Every single other browser eat all my fucking ram at this level of heavy usage.
If you can't suggest a more optimised browser which can sustain my usage then I'll keep using chrome.

>How google break this rule?
by shitting ads to install chrome on their websites and blocking and sabotage other browsers

firefox

If it was superior, why are most users of Chrome retards who cannot into uBlock?

Can confirm. Firefox handles tabs better. You can actually control the process content too.

Jow Forums hates every browser though.

They do offer a better JS execution performance.

Google's coercion and integration of Chrome into every installer on earth makes IE look like a joke.

Because modern websites run like shit in any non-webkit browser. Unfortunately Google owns the internet.

>How google break this rule?
Because google is the default seach engine and they shilled chrome to hell
And it comes as default with android too


You're right that normies will always use the "default" though.
Remember using chrome when it was still mostly niche and trying to recommending it to people and only getting disgusted glances in response as if I was some sort of retard

This also nobody fucking cares what shitty software you use, run internet explorer on Windows ME for all I care

IE was garbage and basically every single normie-facing tech person evangelized Firefox back in the day. IE6 was really, really, bad.

A shit browser run by people who are actively trying to drive it into the ground by selling out as much as possible instead of focusing on core features and performance.

IE became way to bad even for the normies and all thir google sites like YouTube and gmail told them to install chrome for better experience

I'd rather they focus a bit less on the software and more on social issues, so it's a fair tradeoff for me : )

It's simple and beautiful.

Because it was installed as malware apps like Ask toolbar

Yes, well there will always be trolls.

Everybody knows that you have to change your browser and everybody knows google. It's not like they are gonna download anything from some shady site like "mozilla.com". What the fuck even is that lol.
(I use firefox don't be mad)

I'm using it because Firefox can't play twitch streams without freezing and 100% CPU load anymore
Meanwhile Chrome just works and CPU load is 5-10x smaller

What about Duck Duck Go browser? Do they collect user data?

every other browser is inferior in performance, or it's a chromium rebrand because no one would fork off a slow laggy engine

I'm a 33 y/o virgin

By having malware tier ad that says "click here for a faster and more secure browsing experience" on google search page

Well people stopped using IE as default browser for obvious reasons. This meant Firefox or Chrome became the top choice as a default browser for normies

I think Chrome eventually won out because normies perceived Chrome to perform better in terms of less crashing and/or freezing up while using up more tabs

Firefox further lost a lot of non normie users for obvious reasons

my boomer dad used IE but switched to chrome because many of his streaming sites for sports etc told him that the content is "best viewed in Chrome" repeatedly, he likely never saw any option to "continue anyway" and he switched

Because Edge and Firefox weren't brave enough to just ignore Google's anti-competitive moves to make their sites work better on their Chrome browser and simply blame slowness/bugs/breaks on Google, carrying on doing their own shit instead of worrying about random div containers that make no sense.

adblock is good at marketing their botnet extension

Not him but somehow Firefox always run sloppily on my computer. I couldn't run 5 youtube tabs without it being slow but I have no problem opening 7 and more on chrome.

"sports"

Doubtful

*IE never worked unless some retard place forced you to use it. Good riddance!
*Edge is part two, and nobody is coming for seconds. It feels too barebones, but not really bad. Microsoft can't into useful extensions.
*Firefox was the shit, now is a SJW central. Fork and watch it sink.
*Chrome. System app in Android, so normies put with that. Nice enough performance, Big G shoving the average Joe into their shit is a thing.
*Meme browsers on Android. No idea, botnet this crappy app that. Any good ones?
*Waterfox. x64 'fox, old extensions. No crashes on laptop while latest Firefox was hiccuping every other day. Solid pick in my opinion, no complains so far.
*Pale Moon. Never tried it, mememoon or real deal here?
*TOR. How does it perform as a daily driver? Too much hassle setting up, weekend idea/todo list.

>Duck Duck Go browser
The fuck is that

Firefox is flaming shit, but others are squiggling glowing gay shit.

I unironically use w3m as my default. I only switch to firefox if I absolutely need it, which is less often than you might think.

Why the fuck do you need 5-7 youtube tabs open at the same time. What’s wrong with focusing on one thing at a time?

Buffering the other vids so I can immediately see another one after I finish the current?

It's true though. Firefox disables hw acceleration on anything old.

Unironically this

I used Firefox for many, many years, but now unless you actually need most of its about:config features, Google Chrome is objectively the best to use

Also daily reminder that you can't properly escape the botnet, you'll realize it once you'll get deep into the schizo hole

I'd like you to know that I'm actually not fat and with a healthy bmi

And Mozilla enabled them by letting themselves just get fucked over.

bad reply

is anyone on here actually old enough to remember why IE has a bad reputation? Microsoft pulled a stinky by holding mass market share and then inventing their own proprietary html extension which had more features but only worked on IE, forcing devs to either use IE compatible html or get fucked. And now children all over the globe are hating IE because of stigma and sucking Google's dick even though Google does the same shit daily and the browser is full of bloat.

>non technical people
Nah, it's more like
>non technical people use default apps because they don't want to bother with dumb shit and need to get shit done
>first year developer installs a bunch of obscure apps and wastes lots of time in configuration his free software
>senior developers use default apps because they don't want to bother with dumb shit and need to get shit done

Don't you know, user? It's not cool anymore to hate IE. Some anons even started recommending it again recently.

I work in the IT dept. of a large institution.
No-one uses Chrome, other than the dipshit manager.

Every site tells them to use it. Also it's the only way to use their chromecasts and other botnet devices.

Imagine a normie.
He's using IE.
He uses google and YouTube constantly.
Eventually, he sees an ad on Google itself - Get ready for a faster web! Download Chrome!".
Of course he's immediately hooked. Anything that sounds too good to be true immediately excites him, gets him ready to spend all his money, chrome is even free.
And alas! Since IE has always been a fucking compatibility and vendor lock-in tool and was never meant to be a modern, performant, standards-compliant web browser, Chrome's performance actually convinced the normie.

Then eventually, Smartphones came out. On iOS, you can't even change your default browser and the "chrome" in the app store is, in accordance with Apple's anti-competitive rules, just webkit (safari) with a skin and some synching and spying crap.
But on Android, Chrome is the default browser. Many people use it for that alone. Oh, and there's ChromeOS too.
And many developers, having been entranced by Google "developer advocates", people who trick young, naive programmers into using Google products and Google exclusive features in their programs and websites under the guise of "giving advice", develop for Chrome exclusively. They hate testing for other browsers. It just takes time and isn't fun. Their job is easier when they pretend other browsers don't exist. Also, Chrome's devtools are undeniably the best in any browser.
Google themselves even intentionally design websites that run slower in competing browser engines - most famously, YouTube, which deliberately was built upon an, at that time already rejected proposal for Web Components, even though the final spec was about to be supported by every browser - just so the Polyfills would make it run slower in other browsers.

That's Chrome's secret. Having Google behind it. Advertising on its platforms when it detects a competitor, being preinstalled on any platform Google controls, being the platform developers build on and having unfair advantage on Google's sites.

Imagine being limited to 1080p only on YouTube because apple can't into codecs and supporting the standard streaming format the rest of the world uses.

Because it's really fucking good.

That piece of shit also can't open opus streams, although every apple website claims it does support Opus. It also can't open Opus files. It's a straight up lie, deception at it's finest. It interferes with their stupid AppulMusic business, so they "AcCiDenTallY" only support Opus codec for WebRTC (aka. discord voice chat and such crap).

To be fair Chrome doesn't get opus streams perfectly right as well. But at least it works to open opus files.
Only killer doing it all right is Firefox. Those cheeky old cunts.

Imagine not being able to use safaris PiP mode. There's literally no equivalent that works well in other browsers.

That's because Mozilla is the only company whose only goal is to make a great web browser.
The other three are always willing to cripple their products to so their other products become more successful.

True. But the majority of the time, I watch videos in fullscreen and I want them to look as good as YouTube's shitty bitrates allow.
It's pretty embarassing that the company who is basically responsible for modern hi-res displays to enter the mainstream (I puked a little typing this) is the one with shitty retard Fool HD streaming.

You know it's the truth, user

I like to have a small screen on the side while doing some other stuff. I guess I could use mpv and just resize the window but Safari keeps the video always on top of the windows which is nice.

I've been using Firefox for years but it's been a pile of shit lately on my desktop app I'm giving up and going to Chrome.

>Firefox
Lagging when switching tabs, freezing while loading pages, media playback is guaranteed to lag my entire PC. Only happens with Firefox and I've reinstalled it 4 times now. Only extension I use it uBlock.

>Ungoogled-chromium
Extensions are a pain in the ass to add, DRM doesn't work or can't be easily enabled, problems with cookies on websites not working. Outdated and vulnerable, little documentation. Also had to use some obscure script so that I could set it as the default browser because it was portable install only.

>Iridium
Basic things like history and cookies never worked so long term use was annoying.

I guess I'm giving up and surrendering my existence to the glowniggers

shut it down!

You need to delete your old firefox profile
Firefox cannot lag because it's multiprocessed and ui is separate process.
That's your issue

I have

On my main machine Chrome was daily driver for 2 years, Firefox now daily driver for 1 year. Chrome is much faster for me and runs into fewer issues, but I sludge through the shit with firefox because Jow Forums told me I should.

I keep running into programs that try to stealthily install chrome if I don't pay attention, this certainly doesn't look like a coincidence at all.

To be part of the jewgle botnet.

While this may be technically true, I don't think it's the reason why Chrome is so popular. It's because the word "Google" has become synonymous with "search" and nearly everyone uses Google's homepage to search the web and if it detects you're not using Chrome, you get a big, fat ad for it in the upper corner of your browser like mentioned, and retards comply 100%. That and Chrome is usually the default browser on Android devices like mentioned and since most Android phones are dirt cheap, most people end up using Chrome for most mobile devices.

Was surprised to launch chrome and it was all dark. Guess they just launched the mode today. A welcome one but there seems to be no setting? I think it's based off of os settings

This is right
Install Chromium

your dad watches porn

>How google break this rule?

Every Google owned site drowns you in popup balloons constantly nagging you to use Chrome. Adobe Flash came bundled with Chrome when it was still available.

This but also because its what everyone uses but remember the nsa wants your nudes. Think about it, they may not like your nudes but they want them like the want everything else.
Firefox install stats would go way down if freetard system admins would stop trying to force it on corporate users. We got chromium now after I brought it up as a issue and everyone else was in agreement.

I'm the guy complaining
Firefox is way worse than chrome with heavy usage, it's actually absurd how much ram it uses

That's factually incorrect.
Start playing with your preferences. It's no wonder your RAM usage skyrockets when you render on the GPU using 7 processes, einstein.
And as always: pics or it didn't happen.

I may not be smart enough to ever escape them but I can at least struggle
I believe it is my duty to do so

Because normies don't know the difference between a browser, the internet, a search engine, a computer, a monitor. Everything is the google, so its just familiarity.

Tablets though, everything is an ipad. I have an android tablet, Mother. Get out of here with your apple shit, I don't like men.

Normies don't use extensions

remember the "uses internet explorer" meme? that was a google psy-op

The only reason Chrome is popular is thanks to google.com ads and Avast. When Avast Free was at its peak popularity, Google paid the owners to add Chrome ads in it, when your antivirus tells you there is a better and safer browser don' you just believe it blindly? me neither but majorty of middle-aged people and all the Mexicans who use Avast Free are too dumb to think for themselves.

I've been using FF since it became popular around the UT community in the early 2000s and I never regretted it, before that I had Netscape that my middle school's PC were using as default browser too.

Atleast they know speak english unlike you
