Instead of improving the browser, Google team wastes their time to find a way to stop uBlock Origin and other AdBlockers. However, very soon they will face competition from Microsoft, because they also switched to Chromium Engine, so they will not have any compatibility issues anymore and can improve their browser much faster than before.

I agree, it has been so intolerable I've been using firefox because it just feels faster. I'm getting really fed up with google projects as of late just being abandoned.
Like GMail is awful[https://medium.com/@boriscoder/peeking-under-the-hood-of-red...] and chrome is on its way.

I don't think two browsers with the same backend are really the pinnacle of competition, unfortunately.
If you take a second (ok, 4 hours to download the repo) to take a look at the git history of the chromium repo, you'll notice that 100% of the hundreds of commits per day are for things that are unrelated to uBlock Origin and AdBlockers.
