Competition is good, actually.

You really don't want a monoculture of a single browser engine pushing badly designed and often poorly implemented "standards".

w3c (and whatwg?) have a rule of "two independent implementations before a thing can become a standard" for a reason.

Prior to now-ish, we didn't have a bunch of companies working on a single browser, we had a bunch of companies making a bunch of browsers. With a core open source browser that everyone steals from and adds their own flare to, I'm way more open to that. That is the best of all possible worlds, IMHO.
