>if someone forks it, they will be left behind

Is gecko any different in this regard? That is how forking works.

>The corporations have too much control over it

Blink seems better in this regard, it has received major contributions from just about every major tech company out there diversifying its control. Gecko has been primarily just mozilla (especially these days since it only represents about 3% of the market).

So the worst and most powerful IT corporations in the world spreading their vision as a world standard VS a non profit offering ecosystem diversity ?

I guess I lost my touch, I've been feeding the troll.
