Monopoly = IE6, closed source, controlling the web.

Monopoly != multiple large vendors contributing to Chrome/Webkit/etc.

Chromium is still only a single engine under majority control by Google. Almost noone else contributing to Chromium does enough that they could maintain the engine as a fork indefinitely.
