I can't believe you seriously just suggested Google is going to abandon Chrome.
Next up, Microsoft is going to abandon Word. Also, Facebook is going to abandon Facebook. This is why no one takes these conversations seriously. All vitriol, no substance.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see MS abandon Word or Facebook (erm Meta) abandon Facebook in the same sense Google would abandon Chrome.
Sure, some piece of software will have that name, but it won’t be aggressively developed like MS abandoned IE a few times.
I also won’t be shocked if Word or Facebook are like Edge where it’s a new different thing with an old name.

IE still had released, but it stopped moving forward after 6 because there was no longer a good reason for ms to invest.
I doubt google would spend much on chrome if no other browser were popular.

But chromium is opensource. Even if google stop devoting to chrome, we can develop it. In fact, I think Mozilla should turn to chromium too like Microsoft, just be aware of keeping the licence open.
Some people who either don't know history or willfully ignores it keeps claiming that Safari is the new IE, at one point one even made a webside out of it.
Don't fall for it.
Chrome is the new IE:
- technologically advanced? Check!
- implement a number of things without asking or waiting for consensus? Check!
- will be abandoned as soon as they have crushed every competitor? Well, it is produced by the worlds most famous company when it comes to killing its own software.
