This is precisely why I've never found Chromium based browsers to be of much relevance. These are just skins on top of the rendering engine which is the core of the browser and that's entirely controlled by Google. People kept ignoring this and now we're in a situation where Chrome and its derivatives dominate the market to the point where sites no longer care whether they follow W3C specs as long as Chrome renders them. We're now back in pretty much the same situation we were in the days of IE.
It's depressing that people were unable to understand where things were going until Google started doing blatantly evil things. The only thing that was keeping Google in check before was the fact that it was lack of market dominance. Google is an ads company, and there is a huge conflict of interest with them being the gatekeepers to the internet.
