    are they forks? That’s what I don’t get, who controls the merge controls into Chromium’s main branch? It’s open source, but who actually says yay or nay on PRs getting in? I assume it’s Google, and the others are all forks off, but if it makes it into the main branch or not will really decide if it gets adopted

      You can have your own set of patches (and/or config) and still stay up to date with upstream.

      You don’t need to do a hard fork to modify it for your needs.
