I'm not convinced about Blink having won. Webkit is a significant factor which seems to be making it harder for Google to drag standards wherever they want, and Firefox still _works_ in 99% of cases (i.e. black swan could cause easily public perception shift, and there's an alternative right there).

I agree that this is what makes FF such a great alternative. If I tell my mom to use Brave instead of Chrome, she'll wonder what it is. If I say to use FF, she'll remember it from years/decades past and have no problem.
That said, I think Brave works better out-of-the-box from a privacy/security perspective. Hopefully FF can take some cues in terms of turning on some of this stuff by default (or at least having an onboarding that facilitates it)!
