I don't remember chrome ever looking like that with that button on the top left, did they really use a picture of Firefox with a custom theme for their article about Chrome?
The image was first used on their site in another article in 2020.
Tineye turns up a lot of usages.
The original seems to be from shutterstock, which also has an alternate angle available. The artist describes it as "Google Chrome homepage on computer screen".
In conclusion: idk if that's firefox.
That is Firefox. I remember.
Even THEY don’t want to install Chrome for an article…
I think Firefox Australis with classic theme restorer could look like this, navigated to the Google Chrome homepage.
I think even very old Chrome had the settings menu where it is today, with a toolbox icon.
