we did this to our selves. we tolerated the use of corporate-made chromium and now we pay the price. there are open source forks of firefox, but a new open source software is needed to ensure browser diversification. i am no expert of browsers but this is the word i hear around all the time.
Browsers nowadays almost start to approach the complexity of an OS with sandboxed tabs, JavaScript engine and plugin engine. We should've never allowed google to get so much into our lives.
Edit: forgot the HTML and CSS interpreters and then there's how it all interacts, and there might still be parts that I'm not familiar with.
Definitely agree that more browser diversification is needed beyond forks of existing projects.
