End users do not care about the browser engine. But as I said, Brave is trying. It won't be successful in the way FF could have been.

But that's the problem, isn't it? Google controls Chromium, everybody uses Chromium, so Google controls the web.

Not really. If everyone would use a chromium version that radically blocks trackign and ads, google wouldn't control anything.

The web is more than tracking and ads. Chromium is not an ad engine.
