@JohnConnorBear , I see the thing somewhat different in this. Chromium is certainly becoming the standard on the web, just as VHS was once the standard format for video cassettes. This though Google is the creator of Chromium, it will de facto make it impossible to eliminate access to this format without committing commercial suicide.The example of pasta is a bit fallacious, which was invented by the Chinese millennia ago and since then there have been countless companies that manufacture pasta all over the world. The Onion network and the TOR browser were created by the US defense and the NSA, whose dominance over these products is still present, but because they are also used for internal communication by countless governments and research centers around the world, it makes it impossible for them to block or alter the code, without harming himself. There are countless other examples where the format of a company's product became standard, starting with such everyday things as the plug. Schuko used in Europe, the PAL system for TVs.
The inventor companies, far from wanting to eliminate these formats, will do everything so that this standard continues, at least until someone comes up with something better that replaces it with advantage and manages to impose itself.As powerful as Google is, it cannot alter the Chromium format without altering the functioning of the network in general, it is obliged to continue developing it to keep it as a web standard.
