I guess the best explanation is this comic - made as a sort of mea culpa for the original Chrome comic that explained the benefits of going with Chrome: https://contrachrome.com/
And let me take the opportunity to say: Try Firefox. It is definitely a better choice for many people - unless they depend heavily on PWAs. You can probably find your favorite extensions or alternatives to them. I have completely dropped Chromium-based browsers just to help maintain a healthy browser ecosystem, so if one browser fails catastrophically or is steered in the wrong direction (hello Google!), we have somewhere else to go. Chrome is essentially the new IE and that is reason enough for me to use something else. It is bad for the web and it is bad for users.
Great comic! I'll have to show this to some friends and family lol
