> We don’t need to worry about web monoculture. Chrome is open source after all. Chromium doesn't really have many of the benefits of other open source projects, it's a behemoth (have you ever tried a shallow clone and build from scratch?). Forking chrome is pointless unless you have an army behind you to maintain it. In that sense, chrome is chrome, and nothing more, it's proprietary by sheer volume. Anything based on it is usually little more than a chrome skin, or at best an out of date tracking branch that's been pulled apart and put back together again, e.g QtWebEngine which takes 6 months between releases just to pull apart the code to strip all offensive code and put back together again.
