If think of it then there be no competition any more even by a little. If Google Decide to give up on chrome and make there own close Source web engine. Nothing really stopping them as they control the web and search even taking then to count not going make them support the chrome web engine. Firefox just uphill battle even more now as user can’t give up ther chrome habits and the forks.
They don’t need a brand new closed source browser, chrome is already closed source.
