Then standards body is Google and a bunch of companies consuming Google engine code.

I guess you mean except Mozilla and Safari...which are the two other competing browser engines? It's not like a it's a room full of Chromium based browsers.

Do Mozilla and Safari _not_ take money from Google?

Safari yes

Mozilla…are they actually competing? Like really and truly.

Mozilla has proven they can exist in a free market; really and truly, they do compete.

Safari is what I'm concerned about. Without Apple's monopoly control, Safari is guaranteed to be a dead engine. WebKit isn't well-enough supported on Linux and Windows to compete against Blink and Gecko, which suggests that Safari is the most expendable engine of the three.

If your main competitor is giving you 90% of your revenue they aren't a competitor.

		Mozilla used to compete well but that ended... at least 10 years ago?
