Building a web browser that is feature-complete, bug-compatible with Chromium, and relatively secure is about as complicated as building a whole operating system from scratch. Plus, as Mozilla has learned, nobody ever made money from selling web browsers. Costs a fortune to develop, makes almost nothing in return except for influence or protecting other businesses. Plus, why the heck would you do that if Chromium is open-source? It's completely pointless.

Do we have to Stallman this question again? Building from open source mostly controlled by a big-ol company is the opposite of future-proofing, especially when "connectedness" is part of that company's bread and butter. Just having access to source doesn't guarantee much in this day and age.
