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?

They might just like the google sync part? If they use chrome on their mobiles and other computers and so on?

Haven't used Chrome or Chromium in quite some time, but sounds interesting -- especially since fully open-source forks of Firefox, such as Fennec, can use Mozilla's sync service.

Even non-Firefox browsers can use Firefox Sync! GNOME Web does for example.
