Chromium is likely more popular because Google has such a stranglehold over the development of new internet standards. They set standards and then implement them into Chromium perfectly which tends to make Chrome really well optimized and fast.
That makes a lot of sense when you are looking at the two today, but Firefox is older than Chrome. So they managed to become more advanced and take all the browser marketshare in some way.
Chromium stays the best by developing new internet standards. Then big websites adopt them and Mozilla has no choice but to play catch-up if they want these sites to work well in their browser.
Well sure, but I don’t think it changes my question much. There’s still so few active gecko-based browsers. And so many blink based.

Bro it’s a browser. They’re fairly identical to the end users it matters for.
AdBlock works better on Firefox. Firefox takes fewer resources. Firefox is open source. And that’s just off the top of my head.
Sadly, none of this matters for most of the users.
Isn’t Google trying to embed DRM into webpages to avoid track blocking as we speak?

Chrome was really fast back then. And Google has money to burn on ad campaigns.
