It's the best engine for building your own browser on top of, which is the main thing someone building a browser cares about. This is something the Chrome team has prioritized, and Firefox has not.

This is only a part of a browser engine.

Security? Website isolation? Performance? And many other things are just simply better in chromium.

Yes Google is abusing its influence on chromium, but one must admit, its simply the best engine out there.

Hate to say it, but I used to have the job of testing on Firefox and (at least at the time) no, Chrome was the best.

The number of irritating little performance regressions we'd hit when doing anything interesting with the DOM in Firefox was notable (as in, we noted it in the bug-tracker ;) ). Broadly speaking, I began to assume Mozilla didn't have enough real-world integration tests back-stopping changes to their rendering engine.

I haven't tested in a few years so that information is stale.

Its technologically better.

Especially when talking about security.
