My problem with the Webkit monopoly was that it made it harder to use a FOSS browser. Webkit Nightly and Chromium are both nightly browsers which isn't good for the majority of people. Firefox is FOSS, but if Webkit took over, it would be hurt, as it has been.

Chromium as packaged by most Linux distributions is not a "nightly build" sort of a thing. It's only a hassle if you run a non-FOSS operating system without a package manager, and in that case having to run Chrome instead of Chromium is the least of your issues re: FOSS.
