Thank goodness the other browsers are sane enough not to buy into Google's bullshit. But it does feel like it's only gonna be a matter of time until Google wins, given their massive market share and all that.

It would've been nicer if 9/10 of these other browsers weren't also based on Chromium, strenghtening Googles position

Google already sabotaged edge and forced it to convert to Chromium base.

Give it time, they'll do the same to others, until they hold singular control over everything.

I feel like Edge kinda sabotaged itself with it originally running on EdgeHTML, which was a fork of MSHTML, which is what Internet Explorer ran on. Edge also used an updated design of the blue "e" logo. So, to most users, Edge was just Internet Explorer with a new coat of paint.
