Chromium isn't technically Google
Still serves googles goal of control over the internet.
It's maintained by Google, which is pretty much the same thing - in the end, they get to decide what features get implemented and what doesn't make the cut. Sure we can fork it, and we can make our own, but in the end as long as their code is the main base, they have a lot of control over all the different forks, as usually the forks will have to keep rebasing their code off of new updates to stay as secure and up to date as possible.
It is, good luck hard forking such a huge codebase.
I mean what would stop a company from doing that? I get why they don't, because a lot of changes and fixes get implemented into the code from various companies/individuals, but if you had enough manpower and money, it could be done.
Exaclly money and manpower. Noone is going to do it.
