I disagree. The Web is more alive than ever. Browsers converging into a single engine (Chromium) is a good thing. Web compatibility across browsers is solved or at least less of an issue since all share same basic implementation.

There’s never been a better time than today for independent browsers. Chromium does the heavy lifting and you can focus on differentiation with a small team. You can disable or change any Chromium features you don’t like or ship new ones. Notable examples are Brave or Meta Browser. If competing browsers to Chrome are not getting more traction is simply because don’t offer features that are compelling enough for most to offset the switching cost. Market forces at play
