I never really understood the appeal all that much to begin with. I mostly stuck with FF.

There was a brief period of time when chrome launched it seemed faster to me. I also liked the way it had a clean ui compared to others at the time. Used it for years, and it just got worse and worse.

I switched to Firefox a few years ago and it's much better imo. But I remember feeling like chrome was really good for a little while.
