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?

90% of people, possibly more, don't know shit about tech and are not interested in the slightest in learing how to use and understand the tools they get their hands on everyday.

The vast majority of tech savy people don't care about privacy and free software at all, and they'll stick to chrome because it's the "gold standard" in their opinion.

That's it, from my experience at least. People don't know, and if they do, they don't care.
