If there is just one implementation, is it really a standard anymore?

In my opinion if there is only chromium left it is the sign that http/html/css/js needs to be replace with something new that would allow healthy competition without being funded by a multi billion company

That's EXACTLY what GP is talking about, Chromium being transferred to the W3C and out of Google's hands. Or did I also misread it?

Yes you are correct - I did mean that Chromium rendering technology and team would be transferred to the W3 (or equivalent) and out of Google's hands.
