    but it’s hard to see any of them becoming well-developed and trustworthy for things like health data, government services, financial transactions &etc anytime soon.

    I honestly don’t See the Relation to Chrome.

      Oh no, Firefox is fine, possibly better than Chrome in that aspect. I’m thinking more about any other browser projects that might come up if Chrome is taken from Google and then collapses.

      Or, what happens if a potentially bad actor acquires Chrome, and where does that leave all of the apps that are built around it?
