Android is open source. Yet Amazon's fork is the only thriving one. Open source isn't a magic solution to Google's kind of monopoly. It's a herculean task to match Google with its free + convenience + monopoly + open source + strong brand recognition offering. Chrome is already past IE's level of dominance without our realising it - market share percentages just obscures reality. Google's next card is obvious from their android play book. They'll soon rip off vital parts of chromium - make em proprietary or google cloud dependent.
