You just reminded me of that one argument I've heard about two decades back. That if "you pirate Windows, you still kind of buy their product". The rationale of notochrome might be along these lines: If you use chromium, aren't you banking off of technology that is, in this sense, Google's?

But here's the thing, I think you have a point, as far as it's a useful browser technology and open source, I can see about as little a problem as you.
