So now you have the Chrome team with an even more direct incentive to maximize search volumes at the expense of a good product since that's their revenue source too.

That would be a good thing if it drove people away...

After the WEI incident chrome is pretty dang tainted to me.

I'm mostly salty that chromium made Opera go from the wonderful Presto engine to being yet another chromium clone...

I do not know this story. How did the Chromium team force Opera to change rendering engines?

The same way Microsoft was forced to change to Chromium for Edge - Google forcing Chromium-specific features through the standardization process at a rate exhausting for Microsoft (or any other browser engine implementor) to follow in time without popular sites breaking.

This doesn't seem to be an issue for Firefox which is in the same boat.
