Google Chrome includes components such as automatic updates, integrated Google services, and support for proprietary media codecs, all of which contribute to a more polished and user-friendly browsing experience. However, these proprietary elements mean that Chrome is not entirely open-source, limiting the ability for developers to modify certain aspects of the browser.
One of the most noticeable differences between the two browsers lies in their branding and user interface (UI). Google Chrome boasts a sleek and polished UI with Google's distinctive design language, featuring elements like the colorful Chrome logo, smooth animations, and a streamlined interface that emphasizes ease of use. This branding extends to features such as Google account integration, allowing users to sync bookmarks, history, and settings across devices seamlessly.
