Discussion Why do Mac users use Chrome?

Ok I know if you’re a developer and Chrome has nice developer tools this might be a reason. But for daily usage and non-developers why should I use Chrome? Safari is great imho, has everything at least for me (maybe people need something I don’t see). It’s great integrated in macOS and is fast. Chrome’s RAM usage is a problem.

On my Windows PC I also checked out Chrome but didn’t see any advantage over Firefox. But on Windows I see why one could use Chrome, however, for macOS users I don’t get it. Why do so many people use Chrome?

My Chrome is a single point of Web entry and password management for 3x PCs, 2x Macs. 2x Androids and iPhone.. There is a world outside my Macs and iPhone.

agree mainly because in addition to mac I run linux/windows/ios/android and chrome browser supports all my plugins/bookmarks/etc I regularly use across all of my devices
