It doesn't blur them, favicons are small and bitmap based, there's no way to magically make them sharp if you scale them up.

What does Chrome do better specifically?

* Chrome upscales the favicon so that it shows as sharp pixel art, rather than a big blur.

* Chrome’s context menu has many more practical options on it, for navigating and moving to a full browser window

* Chrome’s titlebar is smaller

* Overall easier to use, and built in.
