All that you say may be true, but if that stops the vast majority of tech community from using FF and installing it for their user support base, then we must be prepared for a Blink/Webkit only future, and maybe even Blink only in the worst case.

What will the tech community do if Google starts promoting a certain political direction, if they haven't already? Will they stop seeking employment at Google, or stop using/developing for Chromium in protest?

Sometimes the larger goals should outweigh the immediate disappointments.

You're preaching to the choir here. I don't like Google either and I avoid Google products as much as I can in my daily life. I agree with you that the future looks rather bleak and I put my hopes in that some new browser engine will be developed or that other browsers will start using the engine that's powering Firefox.

If there will be a Blink only future I hope that regulators will force Google to invite others to decide what to do with it.

I agree and that's what make me feel bad, like there is no good choice available to me. I don't know what to do. It's just like the phone OS market, I dislike both realistic options (ios, android) but since my state and banks require me to use one of these I have to make a choice even if I rather use a linux based phone.
