Etymology

The term 'chrome' originates from the Greek word 'chroma,' meaning 'color.' This term became associated with the element chromium when it was discovered in 1797 by the Swedish chemist Johan Gottlieb Gahn. Chromium was first isolated from the mineral crocoite, which exhibited remarkable colors, hence linking it to the word 'chroma.' Over time, the name 'chrome' has evolved to represent both the element chromium and, in a modern context, the web browser developed by Google. The browser's branding draws from the idea of a bright, colorful and efficient tool for navigating the internet, paralleling the vibrant applications of the metal in various industries.
