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) and I can't think of a major feature Firefox didn't have first or get soon after.
Chrome largely just became a "speed meme" though among enthusiasts and had the backing from Google to win over IT teams.
