Uses a large amount of memory to display just a few tabs, so not for older hardware.

Synchronizes well with Chrome installed on other platforms such as mobile.

The Chrome Web Store has over 100,000 Extensions and Themes for this most popular browser.

A huge range of Extensions is available.

Integrates perfectly in a G Suite-based workflow (G Suite is now called Google Workspace, btw).

In fact, some modern websites are now optimized for Google Chrome to the exclusion of others, and will try and stop users from browsing if they land on those sites using an “unsupported browser.”

It’s the most popular browser 99.99% of web assets work well.

Of those we cover, Edge and Chrome share a core (Chromium-based on top of the Blink web engine), Safari is built on WebKit (as are all iOS-based browsers), and Firefox is constructed on the longest-lived engine to date, Gecko. Internet explorer about to die? NOT SO FAST. Strictly speaking, at the time of writing, Internet Explorer was slightly more common than its successor, Edge, but we’re ignoring IE for obvious reasons. For the purposes of brevity, we are looking at only the four most common browsers and ignoring some of the more esoteric spins on top of the common web engines (and the one or two independent platforms as well) - specifically, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
