What if Chromium was moved over to some sort of libre software organization that got funding from corpos and governments to keep the lights on?

@tofu I kinda feel like that's the googles endgame here, move it to the infamous linux foundation but still majority of shit is done by them

@jeder I wish it were like, the chromium foundation. Turn it into firefox 2: the electric boogaloo

@jeder Whoever takes it over better bring back fully fledged extension APIs so people can block ads again

@jeder Yeah, but you can simply refactor the code to a point where it becomes too big of an ask on limited resources, and just keep pushing other things so fast that keeping up becomes impossible. Google could go out of their way to ensure people can't block ads in blink with an extension.
