I assume that Google is giving me a free browser because it will drive traffic and revenue to the search engine. There is no reason for Google to be nefarious to make money.

I cannot guess the motivations of free plugin developers.

Stylish is GPL v3, according to the FF addon page.

Google's most valuable asset is its reputation; switching cost are still pretty low for most of their properties. But, not only does Google have a disincentive for being nefarious in that fashion, they're also under more scrutiny vis-à-vis Chrome (which would be effective even if it were not open source).

Chrome is not open source. Chromium is, but they are not the same.

You think Google would steal my banking information or my identity?
