An overwhelming majority of the committers to Chromium, as well as the leadership, are in the Google reporting structure.

  Chromium is just a fork of WebKit, a fork of KHTML. Unless Microsoft is really planning on downsizing their web browser division, they’ll fork it instead of maintaining a rebranded patch set.

    Unless MS wants to work on the browser secretly for years (the reason for the Webkit fork) or Google refuses many contributions from MS (the reason for the Blink fork), there's no need for a fork.

      There’s other reasons beyond rendering engines and JS JIT compilers to fork.
