I use Firefox as my primary browser. I've tried to get my wife and children to use it, but they always default to using Chrome. Why? Because it is Google's browser and they use Google for so many other things. They can't see anything that Firefox does better than Chrome, so why should they use it?

Interface is simple but powerful enough and we got used to it and don't bother when you get nothing better by using another browser and for some reason font rendering (especially with Asian characters), Chrome looks tiny bit better, even than Safari. The only concern is privacy but I'm using Chromium.

One can use Google products on Firefox without any issue afaik, so I'm a bit surprised that someone would switch back to Chrome for this.

Oh, I know. Firefox is about all I use. But they didn't switch back to Chrome, they just were never really willing to try Firefox.
