In UI jargon, “chrome” means the non-content UI that frames what you actually care about, by analogy to the decorative chrome trim on old cars: shiny, attention-grabbing “window dressing” around the “real” thing. Mozilla documentation from 1999 talks about “window chrome” as the browser’s UI framing.
Google named their browser “Chrome” as an ironic nod to minimizing UI chrome. So the name literally comes from the use of the metal chromium on cars.
