Firefox image scaling vs Chrome

FFx,   Smooth

Cro,   Notice the crazy amount of aliasing.. Top-left, Bottom-middle

It's also kinda crazy chrome doesn't support color correction.

Chrome loads html5 content terribly just like the computers in my school

I prefer using Opera GX or Brave

What exactly does chrome do well apart from tracking the last 5% of your online activity that isn't shared by lazy web designers and filling the pockets of google execs?

It has built in support for Google apps and testing for new google APIs.
The latter means you will be less likely to get locked out of Youtube until Google lets others use those APIs, and yes, this has happened. This is precisely the type of B.S. Microsoft was doing with IE6.

With Chrome having such a dominant position, don't be surprised of Google starts slowing development.

I've heard 'puter people say chrome is a SAFER browser because there are more people working on it , is there any truth to this ?

Just so everyone knows I was going to post a Mad Max Fury Road meme joke centered around the concept of chrome but I couldn't find one that matches the message I want to convey and I am not going to make me mes. So just pretend the repetitious es below has a picture of one of the war boys with chrome sprayed all over his mouth. It also has some smart arse catchy words about chrome superimposed over this picture.

Depends who you talk to.
In my experience, if other ad based companies are an indicator, I would actually say Chrome is far less secure. Google is more interested in features than security just as Yahoo was.

A bigger thing to me though is define safer. Google may protect you from others, but who's protecting you from Google?
