It's depends.
Initially firefox, because of dev tools and available extra extensions (php, screenshot, ruler, interconnection, debug tools...) was a thing before chrome even exists.

Why I write, it is depends. Because there are many factor in this question:

  • Continent, region, country (same thing like Linux distro usage.... redhat and fedore rules in the US, but in EU nobody will touch them)
  • Project needs (for example a german bank uses only chrome for intranet, so everything should be optimal only for chrome)
  • Dev environment (there are places, where you only could have limited softwares like headless chromium (iot, arm, P.O.S. systems))
