See I thought about this.

Google's issue if the leverage they have by having Chome used. If it is just a derivative then that lessens their leverage because the vendors of those derivative browsers do have the option of modifying Google's choices.

But if you disagree, then yes, sure: use Firefox.

I agree that it lessens their control to use a derivative but it is still some control. I agree that these are far better than Chrome, but still less of an impact than a fully independent browser.

I think on HN there are too many people who don't switch because they are letting "perfect" be the goal rather than "improvement".
