The biggest worry is that Chrome brings about change of websites which then requires other browsers to take on their trusted platform stuff in order to work.
I share the same concern. I think either Firefox will find a workaround or privacy advocates will develop open source services to act as shell to access the internet.
Even if you do think it’s plausible that Google can do this in a way that can’t be beaten (at every step so far they’ve lost this war, so the odds really aren’t on their side, but let’s allow it as a possibility), this just means that we need to get more people onto non-Chromium browsers (meaning Firefox and whatever else comes along) so that it becomes infeasible to run a website that only supports chromium based browsers.
How about not use Chromium? Mozilla/Firefox browsers actually provide privacy protections. Like actually, not chrome plated promises.

I feel it’ll be the latter.
