Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Passwords at none against Google Chrome's 25. Passwords also leads on ads (none vs shown). Google Chrome's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
