Even if bringing down Apple's walled garden ends up strengthening chrome, don't you think we should be trying to solve this problem at the source? Maybe the solution is to break up google (usually a messy affair), or maybe we should all agree on a fork of chrome that has full community support, is shielded from google's menacing changes and is adopted by all current chrome derivatives (like brave, vivaldi, opera, etc). Heck, call it khtml2 and give governance of this project back to the KDE folks (with of course the whole FOSS community helping and backing it, they obviously can't do this alone). Maybe even Mozilla could throw the towel and use this new engine without having to give up control of the web to google.
Who's "we"? Google controls Android and Chrom(e/ium). Unless all Android OEMs switch to your engine (why would they?), and you somehow get a bigger developer base, upstream Chromium (and hence Chrome and Google) sets the ecosystem.
