A huge amount of users use chrome instead of chromium, but what are the advantages of this? To me it just seems closed source chromium with trackers and a colorful logo Is there some pro in using chrome?

Most do not know or care about the evils of Chrome.

Also, trying to install chromium on Android, iOS or Windows is something you really have to get out of your way to do.

And finally, some features that people want like sync are not available on Chromium.

...and doesn't Chrome come preinstalled on a lot of hardware?
