...which uses Blink, which is controlled by Google. And that is the problem. Same as when it was IE.

… which is open source and therefore forkable. Google forked Blink from Webkit. What makes you think that Brave and Microsoft can’t do the same?

Unless you have the resources of FAANG, forking Blink is a pipedream. Brave doesn't have the resources, and Microsoft already gave up that dream. Web Browsers are insanely complex and fast moving; and maintaining a "living" fork of Blink is difficult as upstream doesn't make it particularly easy to downstream changes after you've made any sort of modifications.
