A huge amount of users use chrome instead of chromium, but what are the advantages of this? To me it just seems closed source chromium with trackers and a colorful logo Is there some pro in using chrome?

My guess is that the vast majority of people using Chrome aren’t even aware that Chromium exists.

This is sadly the correct answer. Many people also just use what their preferred OS preinstalles rarely users ever use an alternative to that
