Use an ad-filled browser controlled by a megacorp, with an engine built by another megacorp?

Hmmm, I dunno

Well, on the other hand, said megacorp finances the only other engine (Gecko, Blink being a fork of Apples Webkit), so they don't have to bother with monopoly restrictions.

Current web is broken.

I realize this, but technically Mozilla is still an independent entity. They also fight some Google attempts at Web DRM, so it's still healthy competition

and web standards! chrome doesn't care much about web standards. they regularly add new nonstandard proprieties that eventually wins because of their market-size.
