Which would ironically give even more monopoly over how the web is viewed to Google. Chrome and Firefox are just about the only two players in that space right now.

Edge is a Chrome clone. Safari exists purely because of Apple. It is designed to not work well so you get trapped in the Apple app store.

Opera and Edge are Chromium based. Even most of the alternatives are still Google controlled.

There are still versions of Opera with their own original engine going around.
