Google can absolutely choose which direction to take *Chrome,* but remember that Brave, for instance, is not following them on dropping Manifest v2 support or limiting adblocking.
Also, Microsoft and other companies¹ extensively contribute to Chromium as well, and they're won't agree to anything that gives Google more control. (1/2)

I want to see Servo take off, especially because it's written in Rust, and promises better security than current C++ monstrosities. But to say that Chromium is a Google-only project, or to somehow imply it isn't just as free and open-source as Gecko/Firefox or Servo is disingenuous. (2/2)
