Unless we're factoring in "respect your elders," impossible to think of any reason why Chrome wouldn't win this. A fairer comparison would be Chrome v. FireFox, IE, Safari, Opera (and I still think Chrome would win, or at least be very competitive)
I think the OP either has a long memory and is unwilling to embrace change or is a time traveler from the late 1990s. Firefox came into existence in 2002.

The origins of Firefox can be traced directly to Netscape, a compan*y whose Web browser, Netscape Navigator, was the dominant browser before Microsoft developed Internet Explorer. The internal company name for the browser was Mozilla. Eventually, Netscape released the source code for Navigator under an open source license, meaning anyone could see and use the code.
I remember back in 1993, my boss at the Joint Intelligence Center-Pacific (Pearl Harbor) Admiral Lowell Jacoby, came back from Champaign, IL, clutching a 3.5 floppy containing a beta of Mosaic saying, "This is the future." We said, "Huh?"

LOL! Hahaha! Well, obviously, I know about Netscape, but the thread is just odd. Is this OP trying to say which is the all time best ever browser, Chrome or Netscape? Now that would put the thread in a bit more understandable context, but as it reads, it's as if to say that Netscape is still a current, viable option for web browsing, which it no longer is.
That aside, I was always a HUGE Netscape user. In fact, Netscape was the only choice of internet browsing for me in the 90's. I never, never, ever used internet explorer. I was sad to see Netscape go, but Firefox was a proper replacement. I did use Google Chrome, almost exclusively, for about three or four years, and within the last couple years, I've since migrated back to Mozilla Firefox. We just seem to have some web apps at work that work better with Firefox than Chrome, so it's gotten me back into the habit of using Firefox on traditional computers. That said, I do use Chrome and Safari on my iPad, and right now, use mostly Safari on my Macbook Pro.

I use Firebox and IE side-by-side at work (lots of proprietary work apps were written for IE), but Firefox and Chrome side by side at home.
For just run of the mill browsing opera is by far the best. Then firefox followed by chrome. Internet Explorer is for "special" cases.
