Chrome prioritizes search suggestions over your history when you type in keywords in the address bar. I find this behavior very annoying since most of the time I perfectly know what website I want to visit. Obviously, Google will always have an incentive to take you to its search results page.

Firefox on the other hand prioritizes your browsing history by default (you can still change that in settings) which makes finding anything much faster and the whole experience much smoother. Plus you can easily limit the search to your history by preceding the keywords with ^, or to your bookmarks with *.
