It's a bit worrying that the journalist doesn't point out that it's ALL chrome. Safari, Edge, they all use the chrome engine. A complete monopolization of web features. Most recently we've seen the problems with that in trying to ditch good innovations like jpegXL.

Safari has its own engine WebKit
Afaik Blink is a fork of WebKit. It's good there is some independent development but also safari is closed ecosystem.
I'm all for an EU founded browser and other countries can use it too if they contribute. Same with a YouTube alternative. Yeah politics do whatever politics do, but a perfect solution doesn't exist once Firefox is gone. And I'd rather see competition than a monopoly.
