For example, we have DirectTV that will be limiting streaming only to Chrome. https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/7/15758274/directv-now-google-chrome-exclusive-safari-internet-explorer-browser-support https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/7/15758274/directv-now-googl... This encourages a mono culture no amount of forking Chromium can help against. It's not just about preventing Google from doing "evil". It's about preventing hindering the growth of the web which will happen with a browser mono culture.
