EU is not working for Firefox, I'm not sure why you'd expect that. Now people can choose, which includes the choice to stay in the same garden (less walled now).

What makes you think they expect the EU working for Firefox? It is not indicated at all in the comment. Is your world view already that there is only Webkit-, Blink- or Gecko based browsers?

We steered into a corner that is hard to get out of...

Who cares about the piping underneath? The only thing important about that is if they all display the same thing for the same HTML&JS.

Chrome has been becoming the new IE with the websites giving the best experience on Chrome - only. That's the risk.

What pipes the browser makers choose to rely on is between them and pipe makers I guess. Probably the pipe makers should focus on the developer experience.

It's all fun and games until the websites you need (bank, local government, etc) only support the pipes build by a tech corp in a faraway country. Diversity is good and healthy.

Everyone should care. Chromium is built to further Google’s interests.

From the long lasting first party cookies to the ease of fingerprinting the engine is designed to make advertising more effective. But hey who cares about privacy.

There will be Firefox, and is better then only Safari skins.
