Pros
Pro Good HTML5 feature support
Chrome scores highly on HTML5 feature support. It commonly shares the top place with Opera.
Cons
Con High resource consumption
The high performance and speed come at a cost of an abnormally large RAM usage when it comes to Chrome. This isn't a problem with machines with lots of RAM (4GB+) but it's very noticeable with computers that have less RAM than that and can slow it down a lot depending on the number of open tabs.
Con Heavily tied to Google's ecosystem
While it's possible to forego logging into Chrome via a Google account, the browser is designed to be used with a Google account in mind. A Google account is required to sync bookmarks, passwords, history, open tabs and settings for both the browser itself as well as extensions and apps across instances of Chrome both on mobile and desktop.
Con Excessive permissions
The permissions required are excessive and intrusive (including record audio) - a few browsers require this, but there are several available that don't.
Con Chrome favors Google's products and tries to satiate Google's data appetite, what hurts the user experience

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro I don't think there is any competition for chrome on android.
Some says firefox, actually firefox is completely numb and buggy. Opera, firefox, uc browser this all are very much slower in front of chrome. O.K one and only faster browser than chrome is Puffin, but this one is very sticky and ugly user inerface.
Pro Syncs with desktop browser
Chrome for Android will sync bookmarks, passwords, history, and open tabs from your desktop.
Pro No competition for chrome on android
Other browsers on Android miss features like WebAuthn.
Con Does not support extensions in Android
All extensions coming from Chrome Web Store cannot be used on Android version.
Pro Backed by Google
Like Android, Chrome is a Google product, which means the two technologies can be expected to grow together and remain compatible.
