Because for the longest time Chrome smashed the stale arse Firefox out of the water in features and performance.

Personally I found Opera the best, but that’s Chinese shovelware now.

It really didn't... Firefox has been neck and neck performance wise the entire time with a massive arsenal of extensions (and to be fair some of those extensions did negatively impact performance enough to scare people off). Chrome largely just because a "speed meme" though among enthusiasts and had the backing from Google to win over IT teams.
