Chrome is popular because it works. The average person is not going to give up convenience for privacy, even if they claim to care about it. As someone who uses Firefox, I can say that some websites don't work on Firefox and Firefox is often slower than chromium browsers. While I'm ok with that, others might not be.
Anecdotal experience is great.
I've never once come across a website that doesn't work in Firefox and find Chrome and Edge significantly slower.
I regularly find websites I need for business to be non-functional or crippled. I use Chrome only for specific business needs. FF for everything else.
I use a web based platform for one of my business systems that does not work in other browsers. I don't care enough to have two browsers for personal and business because during work I also do some personal browsing/shopping. So I'm stuck with Chrome.
