Yes, this is really surprising. Browsers have in many ways gotten more complex than operating systems, so creating a new one from scratch seemed off the table for now. A big player like Microsoft scrapping Edge certainly helped to strengthen that impression.
It's certainly not as compatible with the modern web as chrome and Firefox but hey, it's doing much more than I'd have expected.

This seems to be as much an exploration as anything: >I’ll be the first to admit it’s not perfect yet – some vertical alignment is wrong in a few places, Hangouts doesn’t work, and our ‘contenteditable’ support is minimal. But I don’t think these detract from the achievement – as far as I’m aware, no browser engine other than Webkit, Blink and Gecko can run full Google Mail, and these have all had over twenty years of development work on them.
