Aren't Mozilla and Chrome registered trademarks? Can you just go around pretending to be Chrome or Mozilla and not face any consequences??

My question was not about how they are used. My question was about trademarks. You have to defend them or you end up losing them.

They've lost them since the very beginning. Mozilla's agent initially included Netscape and Chrome's still says Mozilla.
