Bloated and complacent, Chrome might be on the path to playing the same role as IE was playing 15 years ago, shunned by developers and technologically inferior to other browsers.

They chose Chromium. Which is the base for Chrome (and all other relevant browsers).
I know we live in a time of why-give-a-fuck-about-facts, but I see two ‘relevant browsers’ in the top ranking that are not chromium-based:
Chrome 66.68%
Safari 18.07%
Edge 5.25%
Firefox 2.65%
(https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share)
and out of those 4, 3 are based on a fork that came originally from khtml. so it’s really just firefox that matters in this race. well, until ladybird is ready.

Well that’s cool
Looking forward to it, 2026 feels like a long ways away but I imagine there is lots to do before then
Except Edge is Chromium based.
Is it that hard to read a four entries list without skipping half of them to try to prove your point?
Safari and Firefox are not chromium-based.
Well, technically, all 4 of them are web browsers. And since Chrome is a web browser, basically they’re all Chrome.

:)
Hence why they said two not three.
Your source is missing a bunch of chromium-based browsers to add up to 100%, and there’s no methodology or statistics explanation.
FFS… I listed the first four results of the first web search result I got. Also, may I remind you that me quoting only the four first results (unfiltered) of a longer list doesn’t change a thing on the ranking: on those 4 firsts (aka, the browsers occupying the 1st to the 4th places, aka the ones ranked before the 5th, 6th places and so on), two of them are not Chromium-based. That’s all I was saying.
For the rest:
