Which I do (actually a fork of firefox - waterfox), but it is still worrying as the viability of chromium-base browsers is what's keeping us having "merely" a chromium-monoculture (with viable ad blockers e.g. and website operators that check compatibility with more than one browser), rather than a chrome-monoculture (where ad-blockers surely would have been killed by now).

Microsoft surely has enough resources to keep their fork going if they choose to, so I see no reason why Google would try that given they would likely end up with less control over the web.
