In history of internet there was browser wars and believe or not internet explorer (i.e.) was not the major browser at the beginning. A browser called netscape was major browser dominated internet once upon a time. Later on internet explorer took a place and got markets more than 90 percent for long time until around 2003.
After that year mozilla firefox and google chrome joined competition. In fact firefox is old netscape anyway. Because mozilla firefox derived from netscape navigator. If you ask me which one you should use. I would suggest you to use chrome because it is always up to date and some other better features.
Why is it important? I meant choose browser. Because if you know little bit about web development you will see the difference. Other browsers can not display sometimes web pages properly because they are not uptodate frequently. But people still using other browsers and it gives programmers (web developers can be called kind of programmer too) some problems and they must use extra codes to fix problems into other browsers and for their users to show web pages properly and same in their browsers too.
By the way google chrome and most of browsers use mozilla's engine ( gecko engine ) usually which is open source product. Google also have open source version which called Google Chromium if you like to use. but set it up can be a headache for you if you do not have any idea about technical things.
Here is chrome download page
