Eco system, email, google account, all bookmarks saved between devices. Where as Firefox you’ll need to actively make an account. Chrome also come pre installed on some systems, ive also seen that many installers for random software will offer to install chrome.
Its all subtle manipulation that leads to people using chrome because everyone uses chrome.
Personally I use Firefox based browsers. I font want to support google.
If it truly is only an hour of someone’s time, then I’d much rather they made that insignificant amount less profit, but did the work to make our experience better.
Ads and tracking ? Browser with the largest market share ? Well, we are back to IE6 monopoly. :(
Largest marketshare to check for compatibility, while ignoring all the other browsers.
It’s almost certainly market share. Easier to just slap a “use chrome” check on it than to spend any dev time supporting the others.

I use Firefox for development and then, barring some weird chrome bug, things just work everywhere.
