Why Chromium based browsers? I understand using Chrome might help Google, but how does using other browsers based on Chromium help them? By increasing market share?
Yes. It gives them leverage when working on standard specs. And it can lead to stagnation. The latter didn’t happen yet, but they already tried to push their agenda multiple times already.
Reminder #891,814 to stop using Chrome and Chromium browsers and to stop supporting Google’s web monopoly.
3 more will do it! :p

I could argue that it already did when Google abandoned JPEG XL.
That is a solid argument. I second this.
