You seems very certain that Firefox will switch to Chromium but the recent trend is going in the exact opposite direction :

- Firefox Focus is switching from Chromium Engine to Gecko Engine.

- Huge amount of work in WebRender, they're starting to test it. If it lives up its promise Chromium Engine might fall far behind in terms of performance.

So maybe you're right but from what we can tell right now, the current trend for Mozilla is to remove the last pieces of Chromium and bet everything on a new generation engine which is not Chromium.

Cool. I'd love to be dead wrong about this, it's just that history is tempering my optimism.

I feel like Debbie Downer from SNL back in the day, so let's hope you're right.
