I'm not so worried about a near browser monoculture if Chrome is the dominant browser. With IE Microsoft was originally driven to use the web to maintain Windows lock in, to control the platform. Google (I would assume) is driven by the desire to keep the web as desireable a development platform overall. Web usage means ad sales. Google has knocked it out of the park on this one. Chrome really is an incredible piece of software. IE by comparison has always been a piece of shit because it never mattered. Microsoft was leveraging it for OS adoption not a successful web. Today it's the web vs. apps and who knows what it will be in the future. This may sound crazy to some but the web will become a "truck" to some other technology's "car". Sort of how desktop office productivity apps are a monoculture and no one really cares.
