Not true.

Firefox is vastly better in terms of rendering quality for scaled and/or transformed raster images. Chrome always sacrifices quality for performance, with no way to choose.

Firefox's SVG support is also miles ahead, both in rendering quality and features.

It's the best engine for building your own browser on top of, which is the main thing someone building a browser cares about. This is something the Chrome team has prioritized, and Firefox has not.
This is only a part of a browser engine.

Security? Website isolation? Performance? And many other things are just simply better in chromium.

Yes Google is abusing its influence on chromium, but one must admit, its simply the best engine out there.

Chrome has crap image rendering. Chrome has sub-par SVG support. Chrome has a host of issues and bugs with media selectors and imagesets not updating dynamically when changing zoom levels.

So no, one must not admit it is "simply the best engine out there". Not by a long shot.

This is only a section of what a browser does.

The features, the speed, the security, are all better on chromium.
