Given how Google has taken over Web standards, and now we're stuck with massive moat barriers to implementing current standards, with most competition dependent on Google (for implementation, or even funding)...

Maybe at this point Chrome has to be taken over by some organization in the public interest, like a government/coalition or a non-profit.

A problem is how do you support the huge cost of current developers who are accustomed to Google compensation.

Or maybe Chrome doesn't need a lot of development at this point, or isn't the best starting point. Maybe some kind of public interest effort can focus on public interest goals, instead of a shiny adtech and surveillance platform?
