I concur with this. Any Chromium based browser is still under the chokehold of Google. A great example is Manifest V3 being forced on all Chromium browsers. Honestly, Google controlling such a significant browser marketshare should be a worry to more peoople. To a lot of people they are people's access to the internet, via Google Search, and they also control people's window to the internet, via Chromium.
In short; Google by and large is the internet, meaning they can do whatever hell they please and there's not much in the way to stop them.
