Chrome only supports ICS, which accounts for only about 7% of Android devices. Firefox for Mobile supports Froyo (Android 2.2) and above, which accounts for about 87% of Android devices.

ARMv6 builds of Firefox are coming soon:

The disappointment is that you can't do the same for WebViews inside an app- I like to make apps using HTML5, and it would be very easy to make cross-platform ones if the Android built-in browser was any good. Sadly, it's not, and I don't have any means to embed a Firefox WebView.

There are already builds available! The latest nightly runs nicely on my armv6 device: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/tinderbox-buil...
